1 Thaler Type 1

正面描述	Central device depicts the city gate of Riga, rendered as a fortified double-towered gateway with arched portal and decorative elements, all within a circular legend. The towers are surmounted by onion-shaped turrets, and the gate is shown in a stylized architectural manner typical of late 16th-century German-influenced coinage. The heraldic composition is flanked by the circular Latin legend around the periphery of the field.

附加信息	Riga struck this thaler in the years immediately following its formal incorporation into the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth under the Treaty of Drohiczyn (1559), a political accommodation that left the city with unusual autonomy and its own municipal coinage rights. The low silver content reflects the chronic bullion shortages afflicting Baltic minting in the 1570s — Riga was drawing on whatever metal could be sourced commercially rather than from consistent crown supply. Davenport's EC I classification places this among the earliest thaler-weight billon issues from the city, predating the better-documented Sigismund III-era coinage by over a decade.
