| Obverse description | Panoramic view of the Riga cityscape in low relief, featuring the Vanšu cable-stayed bridge prominently in the left field, with historic Old Town buildings and church spires rising behind it.

| Reverse description | The flattened reverse retains ghost impressions of the host coin's original design, showing faint traces of what appears to be a Euro cent coin design with an eagle or heraldic motif and partial lettering, all heavily distorted by the rolling process. |
