Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used in the Bishopric of Dorpat, which was part of the Livonian Confederation, a medieval state that existed from the 13th to the 16th century in the territory of present-day Estonia and Latvia. The coin features a unique design, with a sword on the left and a key and dot on the right, and was made of silver. It was minted during the reign of Bishop Hermann von Buxhoeven, who ruled the bishopric from 1248 to 1346. Despite its small weight of 0.13 grams, this coin played an important role in the economy of the region during its time.
