| Obverse description | Central design features the crowned castle of Riga, a three-towered fortified structure, set within a beaded inner circle. The city arms are rendered in a bold, somewhat crude hammered style typical of early 17th-century Baltic coinage. A circular Latin legend surrounds the inner circle, reading the name and title of the Swedish king. |
