Comment
Levinson I-404; Frey 497; Jungk 108-14Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Bremen, which was a powerful ecclesiastical state in the Holy Roman Empire during the 15th century. This shield is placed above the name of the ruler, John III Rode of Wale, and serves as a symbol of the coin's origin and authority.
