Comment

The anonymous pfennigs and the ones that can be narrowed down to Zisse von Rutenberg's reign (1424-1433) look very similar. The difference is the dots above the shield on the obverse.

Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig coin from the Livonian Order (Livonian Confederation) weighs only 0.39 grams, making it one of the lightest coins in circulation during its time.
