Notes

Lübische means Lübeck-pfennig, which indicates the popularity of foreign coins (specifically those from Lübeck) in the earlier times of Livonian coinage. The Lübische pieces of Dietrich II Damerow (1379-1400), Heinrich II Wrangel (1400-1410), Bernhard II Bülow (1410-1413), and Dietrich III Resler (1413-1441) can be difficult to distinguish. While the legend is a good indicator, it can sometimes be blurred or illegible. With that being said, the designs on each ruler's coins are slightly different, varying in size and style. The exact lettering of the surrounding legend may vary. No date: 1) M · DARPA · E / M · DARPA · E 2) DARPA · E / M · DARPA · E 3) DARPA · E / DARPA · E
