1 Schilling - Jodokus von der Recke One shield with bumpy top and pointy bottom, sword left, key right

Jodokus von der Recke held the Dorpat see during one of the most precarious stretches in Livonian history — the Reformation had already hollowed out episcopal authority across the Baltic, and the Livonian Order was feuding with its own suffragan bishops over jurisdiction and revenue. Coinage from this episcopate is sparse not because it was poorly struck but because the institutional infrastructure to produce it consistently was collapsing. Von der Recke's tenure ended in 1551, just over a decade before the Livonian War reduced Dorpat itself to a ruin under Ivan IV's forces.
