1 Schilling - Hermann II Wesel With shield, key down

Hermann II Wesel held the see of Dorpat — a contested Livonian bishopric caught between the deteriorating Livonian Confederation and the mounting pressure of Ivan the Terrible's westward ambitions — from 1552 until the catastrophic Russian invasion of 1558, which effectively ended the diocese's independent coinage forever. This schilling was struck just four years before Dorpat fell to Muscovite forces in July 1558, after which the city was looted and its population decimated. The bishopric never recovered its political or monetary autonomy.

The Haljak II#687b designation distinguishes this by the key-down shield orientation, a die variant within an already thinly documented series.
