Edzard I, known as "the Great," consolidated East Frisian power during a period of constant pressure from the Habsburgs and the city of Groningen. The Schaf — named for the sheep that dominated the regional economy — was a distinctly Frisian denomination, reflecting the county's insistence on monetary autonomy from neighboring powers. Edzard's issues from this window coincide with his final years; he died in 1528 having successfully navigated East Frisia through the turbulent early Reformation without losing territorial sovereignty.
Kappelhoff 115 is among the more elusive varieties of this type.
