Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Livonian Confederation, which was a unique political entity in medieval Europe, established in 1418 and lasting until 1561. It was a confederation of four ecclesiastical states and six secular states, which were all located in the territory of present-day Estonia and Latvia. The Livonian Order, which minted this coin, was one of the ecclesiastical states that made up the confederation.
