Interesting fact

The 1 Schilling coin from the Archbishopric of Riga (Livonian Confederation) is interesting because it was minted during a time of political turmoil. The Sede Vacante (Latin for "empty seat") mintage was issued during the period when the Archbishopric was vacant, and the coin's design reflects this, featuring a unique blend of Christian and pagan symbols. This coin is a rare and valuable example of the cultural and religious influences that shaped the region's history.
