| Aversbeschreibung | Central field displays a quartered heraldic shield surmounted by a royal crown, the quarters bearing the arms of Poland (eagle), Lithuania (mounted knight), and Sweden (three crowns), with a small inescutcheon at center. The shield is rendered in the baroque heraldic style typical of early 17th-century Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth coinage. A beaded inner circle frames the design, with a continuous Latin legend in the outer field reading the royal titles of Sigismund III Vasa. The lettering is separated by pellet stops characteristic of the Riga mint's production during this period. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Sigismund III's Riga issues of this period reflect the administrative tangle of a Swedish-controlled city being coerced into producing coinage for a Polish-Lithuanian king who had lost the Swedish throne in 1599. The Riga mint operated under municipal authority, and its relationship with Sigismund was perpetually fraught — the city's Protestant burghers had little enthusiasm for their Catholic overlord, and the billon quality of small-denomination output from these years reflects chronic silver shortages across the Baltic.
The 1½ grossus denomination itself was a short-lived experiment in the Polish monetary system, introduced to bridge awkward gaps in everyday transaction values.
