Comment
These brakteats were definitely struck under Johannes VI Ambundi's reign, but there is a lack of information on them so far.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Johannes VI Ambundi, who was the Archbishop of Riga from 1418 to 1424. During his tenure, he played a significant role in the political and religious affairs of the Livonian Confederation, which was a powerful state in the region. Despite its small size, this coin is a valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic and cultural practices of the time.
