Additional information

Dietrich V Hake held the see of Dorpat from 1485 to 1498, presiding over a diocese caught between the declining authority of the Livonian Order and the growing pressure of Muscovite expansion under Ivan III. The Bishopric's coinage was functionally tied to the broader Livonian monetary system, but local episcopal issues like this schilling maintained a separate identity reflecting the bishop's temporal as well as spiritual jurisdiction.

The "small bow" designation distinguishes this die variety from related Hake issues catalogued by Haljak — a distinction that matters more to attribution than to contemporary commerce.
