Without there being a date on Dietrich III Resler's coins, they could belong on either side of the monetary reform's date-range.Some sources list the ruler as being Dietrich III Resler, while other sources list the ruler as being Dietrich IV Resler.
It is currently unknown whether this coin belonged to Dietrich Resler or Dietrich Gronow. Once it is established, this page will be updated.

Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Dietrich III Resler, who was the Bishop of Dorpat (now known as Tartu) in the Livonian Confederation, a region located in present-day Estonia and Latvia. The coin features a unique design, with a horizontal lump on one side, which was a distinctive feature of the coins minted during Resler's reign. Additionally, the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time, and it weighed 1.23 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin of its kind. Overall, this coin is a fascinating piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political systems of the Livonian Confederation during the 15th century.
