Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Livonian Confederation, which was a unique political entity that existed from 1418 to 1561. The Confederation was a loose alliance of four ecclesiastical states and several secular territories in what is now Estonia and Latvia. It was a time of relative peace and stability in the region, and the coinage minted during this period reflects the economic and cultural exchange that took place during this time.
