Comment
The anonymous schillings and the ones that can be narrowed down to Zisse von Rutenberg's reign (1424-1433) look similar. The difference is the amount of dots beneath the shield on the obverse.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Zisse von Rutenberg, who was the Master of the Livonian Order from 1424 to 1433. The Livonian Order was a military order of German knights who ruled over the Livonian Confederation, a region located in present-day Estonia and Latvia. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the Order's influence and power in the region during that time.
