1 Artig - Dietrich III Resler Vertical lump, two-ended

Dietrich III Resler served as Bishop of Dorpat from 1413 to 1441, presiding over a diocese caught between the competing pressures of the Livonian Order and the Hanseatic trading network centered on Reval and Riga. The artig — a small regional denomination specific to the Baltic monetary sphere — circulated primarily as a local commercial coin, distinct from the larger schillings favored in long-distance trade. Dorpat's episcopal mint operated with considerable autonomy during this period, producing types that diverged noticeably from Livonian Order issues of the same decades.
