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, weighing 0.15 grams.
