Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Dietrich V Hake, who was the Bishop of Dorpat (now known as Tartu, Estonia) from 1485 to 1498. The coin features a large bow on the obverse, which was a common design element on coins during this period. Additionally, the coin was made of billon, which is an alloy of silver and other metals, and weighs 1.13 grams.
