| Beschrijving keerzijde | The panoramic skyline of 16th-century Riga is depicted across the central field, rendered through differential matting of the coin's surface to achieve a picturesque, multi-tonal effect. To the left of the central motif, the inscription XVI GS. (an abbreviation for the Latvian 'XVI gadsimts', meaning 16th century) is arranged in a semicircular arc. Below the cityscape, the inscription RIGA-800 commemorates the 800th anniversary of the founding of Riga. The reverse design was engraved by Jānis Strupulis and exemplifies the artistic standards of Latvian commemorative silver issues. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This piece belongs to Latvia's ambitious commemorative program launched after re-independence, which used silver issues to systematically document Latvian urban and architectural history. The specific subject — 16th-century Riga — references the city's peak as a Hanseatic trading hub, when it ranked among the most commercially significant ports on the Baltic, handling grain, timber, and flax moving between Russia and western Europe.
