| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays two interlocked curvilinear shields arranged in a lobed, cartouche-like form, bearing the arms of the Bishopric of Dorpat. The shields are rendered in a late Gothic style characteristic of Baltic ecclesiastical coinage of the early sixteenth century. A beaded inner circle separates the central device from the surrounding legend. The peripheral Latin legend in uncial characters reads DOMI · IOHA · EL · TA, an abbreviated inscription for Dominus Johannes Elector Darpatensis, identifying the issuing bishop. The coin's irregular flan and variable strike are consistent with hammered billon coinage of the period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field depicts two episcopal emblems — a sword pointing to the left and a key pointing to the right — arranged diagonally within a curvilinear lobed shield, symbolizing the temporal and spiritual authority of the Bishopric of Dorpat. The devices are rendered in a simplified, flat relief typical of hammered billon schillings from the Baltic region. A beaded inner circle encloses the central device and separates it from the peripheral legend. The surrounding Latin legend in uncial script reads MONETA · NOVA · TA, an abbreviation for Moneta Nova Darpatensis, identifying this as new coinage of Dorpat. The irregular flan edges and variable strike are consistent with hand-struck coinage of the early sixteenth century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Johannes VI Bey served as Bishop of Dorpat during a period of acute political instability in Livonia, as the Reformation fractured ecclesiastical authority across the Baltic and the Teutonic Order's grip on the region was visibly loosening. Dorpat's episcopal mint operated under constant pressure — from Lutheran townspeople, from competing Livonian powers, and eventually from the looming threat of Muscovite expansion that would culminate in Ivan the Terrible's invasion of 1558.
Billon at .1875 fine was already a concession to fiscal reality. Issues from this reign span over a decade precisely because the diocese kept minting through increasingly difficult circumstances rather than suspending production.
