Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Henry II Wrangel, who was the Bishop of Dorpat (now known as Tartu, Estonia) from 1400 to 1410. The coin features an image of the bishop on one side and the Livonian Confederation's coat of arms on the other. The Livonian Confederation was a political entity that existed from the 13th to the 16th century and consisted of various territories in present-day Estonia, Latvia, and parts of Russia. The fact that this coin was minted during Henry II Wrangel's reign and features the Livonian Confederation's coat of arms makes it a unique and interesting piece of history.
