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
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Zisse von Rutenberg, a prominent knight and leader of the Livonian Order, on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the Livonian Confederation. This coin was minted during von Rutenberg's tenure as the Master of the Order, which lasted from 1424 to 1433.
