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. It was a confederation of four ecclesiastical states and six secular states in the territory of present-day Estonia and Latvia. The Livonian Order, which minted this coin, was one of the ecclesiastical states and was a military order of German knights who were responsible for the defense of the region. The coin's design, featuring a hollow dot with mixed lettering, is a distinctive feature of coins minted by the Livonian Order during this time period.
