Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique decorative lettering style, known as the "Reval" style, which was used in the city of Reval (now Tallinn, Estonia) during the 16th century. This style is characterized by intricate floral and foliage motifs, and can be seen on the coin's obverse (front side) surrounding the coat of arms.
