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 ecclesiastical states and secular territories that were ruled by the Archbishop of Riga and the Bishop of Dorpat, respectively. The coinage of the Livonian Confederation was characterized by its unique blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles, and the 1 Schilling coin featuring Jodokus von der Recke is a prime example of this distinctive artistic tradition.
