Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Wolter von Plettenberg, who was the Master of the Livonian Order, a military order of German knights, from 1529 to 1532. The coin features a curved shield on the obverse, which is a unique feature among coins of that time.
