Notes

This coin is often given Dietrich III Resler's full reign (1413-1441); however, scherfs were only made after the end of the Livonian Monetary Reform (1422-1426), replacing the seestlings. Some sources list the ruler as being Dietrich III Resler, while other sources list the ruler as being Dietrich IV Resler
