1 Pfennig - Bartholomäus Savijerwe

The Bishopric of Dorpat occupied an uneasy position throughout the mid-fifteenth century, caught between the Livonian Order to its south and the growing pressure of Novgorodian trade politics to the east. Bartholomäus Savijerwe served as Bishop from 1441 to 1459, and the small billon issues struck under his authority circulated within a regional economy still heavily dependent on the Hanseatic network running through Reval and Riga.

Haljak's cataloguing of this type draws on a notably thin survival rate — these fractional pfennigs were struck light and spent hard.
