背面描述	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.

附加信息	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. KM#34 had a mintage of 10,000 pieces, struck at the Latvian State Mint.
