Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil and change in the region. The Livonian Order, a military order of German knights, had been present in the area since the 13th century, but in the 16th century, they were facing challenges from the neighboring Russian Empire and the emerging Protestant Reformation. This coin was minted during the reign of Wilhelm von Fürstenberg, who was the Master of the Order from 1557 to 1558. It is made of silver and weighs 2.46 grams, indicating its value as a standard circulation coin. Despite the challenges faced by the Livonian Order during this time, this coin remains a testament to their enduring legacy and the rich history of the region.
