Comment
Lübische means Lübeck-pfennig, which indicates the popularity of foreign coins (specifically those from Lübeck) in the earlier times of Livonian coinage.The solid-cross Lübisches of Wennemar von Brüggeneye (1389-1401), Konrad von Vietinghof (1401-1413), and Siegfried von Spanheim (1415-1424) can be difficult to distinguish. The differences are in the legends of both the obverse and the reverse.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Konrad von Vietinghof, who was the Master of the Livonian Order from 1401 to 1413. The Livonian Order was a military order of German knights who ruled over the Livonian Confederation, a region located in present-day Estonia and Latvia. The coin's design, which features an image of Konrad von Vietinghof, reflects the influence of the Order on the region's currency and economy during this time period.
