Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Livonian Order, a military order of German knights who ruled over the territory of Livonia (present-day Latvia and Estonia) in the 13th to 16th centuries. The coin features the image of Wolter von Plettenberg, the Master of the Order from 1528 to 1535, and the single shield on the reverse side represents the coat of arms of the Livonian Order.
