Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Bishop Bartholomäus Savijerwe, who was the Bishop of Dorpat (now known as Tartu, Estonia) from 1441 to 1459. The coin features an image of the bishop on one side and a cross on the other, symbolizing the religious influence of the Bishopric of Dorpat during that time.
