Notes

These anonymous schillings and the ones that can be narrowed down to Zisse von Rutenberg's reign (1424-1433) look very similar. The difference is the amount of dots beneath the shield on the obverse. Different sources list different date-ranges for these anonymous schillings, including 1422-1470, 1424-1483, 1430-1465, 1434-1450, and 1434-1455. Even so, the most probable date-range starts at Zisse von Rutenberg's reign (1424), and ends at the start of Bernd von der Borch's reign (1471), whose schillings were not anonymous
