| Obverse description | Full-length effigy of Sigismund III Vasa in three-quarter armour, facing right, holding an orb in his right hand and a sceptre in his left, wearing a crown. The king stands in a commanding pose with elaborate Renaissance-style armour visible in fine detail. The figure is set within the field with a beaded inner border. The surrounding legend in Latin reads clockwise from the top within a rope-bordered rim. |

| Reverse description | The arms of the city of Riga displayed centrally, featuring a castle gateway flanked by two rampant lions, with crossed keys above the castle and the date divided across the field on either side. The entire composition is surrounded by a Latin legend within a beaded inner border and rope-bordered outer rim, consistent with the high-relief engraving style of late 16th-century Baltic coinage. |
