Visby's municipal coinage of the late 1350s was struck under acute political pressure — the city had recently broken from the Hanseatic League's collective discipline and was asserting independent commercial authority over Gotlandic trade routes. The örtug denominations from this window are notable for their billon-adjacent silver content, reflecting real constraints in bullion supply rather than debasement by policy.
HaljakGot#42b is among the scarcer die varieties in Haljak's Gotland typology, documented in limited surviving examples.
