| Obverse description | Green note framed by a dark blue geometric guilloche border of repeating diamond-and-cross motifs. The central field carries a pale underprint of the Riga city coat of arms, over which the denomination "Trīs rubļi" is set in large Gothic blackletter script flanked by the numeral "3" on each side. The lower portion bears the issuing authority, the place and date of issue (Rīgā, 15. augustā 1919. g.), a statutory counterfeiting warning, two manuscript signatures, and a printed serial number in red. |

| Reverse description | Green note with the same dark blue diamond-and-cross guilloche border as the obverse, enclosing trilingual text in Latvian, German, and Russian arranged across the face.

The note is designated as a debt obligation of the City of Riga — "Schuldschein der Stadt Riga" in German Gothic script and "Долговое обязательство города Риги" in Cyrillic — with the denomination expressed in both languages, a guarantee clause citing all city assets, and a statutory counterfeiting warning in Russian closing the design at the foot. |
