Comment
The schillings of Bernd von der Borch (1471-1483) and the early ones of Wolter von Plettenberg (1494-1535) can be difficult to distinguish. The differences are in the symbols that appear above the shield on the obverse.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Wolter von Plettenberg, who was the Master of the Livonian Order from 1494 to 1500. The Livonian Order was a military order of German knights who ruled over the Livonian Confederation, which was a region in present-day Estonia and Latvia. The coin features a solid dot mint mark, which was used by the Reval mint, and it is made of billon, a type of alloy that contains .281 silver. It weighs 1.13 grams and is a standard circulation coin.
