Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Dietrich II Damerow, who was the Bishop of Dorpat (now known as Tartu, Estonia) from 1379 to 1400. The coin features an image of the bishop on one side and a simple cross on the other, reflecting the religious influence of the time. Despite its small size and relatively low weight, the coin was an important means of exchange in the region and played a significant role in the local economy.
