Comment
Lübische means Lübeck-pfennig, which indicates the popularity of foreign coins (specifically those from Lübeck) in the earlier times of Livonian coinage.Diderick Tork reigned from 1413 to 1415, while Siegfried von Spanheim reigned from 1415 to 1424. It is unknown which of those rulers these Lübisches were minted under.
The solid-cross Lübisches of Wennemar von Brüggeneye (1389-1401), Konrad von Vietinghof (1401-1413), and Siegfried von Spanheim / Diderick Tork (1413-1424) can be difficult to distinguish. The differences are in the legends of both the obverse and the reverse.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Lübische coin from the Livonian Order is that it features a unique blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of the Virgin Mary, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of the Livonian Order, which includes a cross and a lion. This blend of styles reflects the cultural and artistic influences of the time period in which the coin was minted.
