The date is divided and placed in the fields to either side of the central device. A beaded inner circle surrounds the central composition, with a continuous Latin legend in the outer field identifying the denomination and issuing city. Pellet stops and abbreviation marks punctuate the inscription throughout, consistent with Riga mint practice of the early 17th century. |
