Notes

The schillings of Bernd von der Borch (1471-1483) and the early ones of Wolter von Plettenberg (1494-1535) can be difficult to distinguish. The differences are in the symbols that appear above the shield on the obverse. The lettering for coins with a dot in bottom left quadrant may vary: 1) GISTRI · LIVONIE / MON - ETA - RVA - LIE
