Housed in Riga's Museum of History and Navigation in Latvia, this historical artifact offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich medieval past of this European city. The intricately designed seal, with its embossed details, reveals the city's coat of arms, featuring three golden keys on a blue background.

The image transports us back to the 14th century, a time of growth and prosperity for Riga.

This stamp, with its historical significance, is a testament to Riga's rich heritage and its role in European history. The Museum of History and Navigation in Riga preserves and shares such treasures, allowing us to explore and learn about the city's past. The image also highlights the importance of preserving historical artifacts, as they provide valuable insights into the culture, history, and development of cities like Riga.
