Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Henry I of Velde, who was the Bishop of Dorpat (now known as Tartu) in the Livonian Confederation, a medieval state that existed from the 13th to the 16th century in the territory of present-day Estonia and Latvia. The coin is made of silver and weighs 1.21 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulation coin at that time.
