Diderick Tork reigned from 1413 to 1415, while Siegfried von Spanheim reigned from 1415 to 1424. It is unknown which of those rulers these Artigs were minted under.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Livonian Order, a military order that was established in the 13th century in the Baltic region. The coin's design features a solid cross without a circle, which was a common feature of coins during this time period. Additionally, the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal for currency at the time.
