| Additional information |
The Livonian Order's mint at Reval operated under persistent tension with the city council, which jealously guarded its own coinage rights. These anonymous schillings — bearing no master's name or mintmaster's mark — were struck across more than two decades of increasingly desperate political circumstances, as the Order faced simultaneous pressure from Muscovy to the east and the advancing Reformation eroding its ecclesiastical authority from within. The anonymity itself may reflect deliberate ambiguity of issuing authority rather than mere convention.
The Order dissolved in 1561 following the Livonian War, making this type one of the final coinages struck under its name.
