Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Livonian Confederation, which was a unique political entity in the 16th century that brought together the Bishoprics of Dorpat, Ösel, and Courland, as well as the city of Riga, under a loose confederation. This coin, minted in Dorpat, is a testament to the economic and political cooperation that existed during that time.
