Notes

In 1426, at the end of the Livonian Order's monetary reform, the Lübische's name was changed to Pfennig. While this coin is sometimes given Dietrich III Resler's full date-range (1413-1441), this coin has the ruler's symbol on the obverse rather than a crossed sword and key, indicating this coin was minted as a Pfennig after the end of the monetary reform. Some sources list the ruler as being Dietrich III Resler, while other sources list the ruler as being Dietrich IV Resler. It is currently unknown whether this coin belonged to Dietrich Resler or Dietrich Gronow. Once it is established, this page will be updated
