Comment

The schillings of Bernd von der Borch (1471-1483) and the early ones of Wolter von Plettenberg (1494-1535) can be difficult to distinguish. The differences are in the symbols that appear above the shield on the obverse.

The lettering for coins with a dot in bottom left quadrant may vary:
1) GISTRI · LIVONIE / MON - ETA - RVA - LIE

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Bernd von der Borch, who was the Master of the Livonian Order, a military order of German knights, from 1471 to 1483. The coin features an image of von der Borch on one side and the Livonian Order's coat of arms on the other. This coin is a rare example of a billon coin, which is made from a mixture of silver and other metals, and its unique composition and design make it a valuable piece for collectors.
