Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Johannes VI Ambundi, who was the Archbishop of Riga from 1418 to 1424. The coin features a circular design and is made of silver, weighing 1.22 grams. It was issued by the Livonian Confederation, which was a political entity that existed in the region of Livonia (present-day Latvia and Estonia) during the 15th century. This coin is a rare and valuable artifact that provides insight into the economic and political history of the region during that time.
