| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bears the pointed (angular) shield of Bishop Johannes VI, displaying the episcopal arms within a beaded inner circle. The shield is rendered in a simple, bold style characteristic of late medieval Baltic coinage. A peripheral Latin legend in uncial characters surrounds the central device, reading partially along the coin's rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Johannes VI Bey served as Bishop of Dorpat from 1528 to 1543, presiding over a diocese increasingly squeezed between the Livonian Order to the west and the growing threat of Muscovite expansion to the east. The schilling issues of this period reflect the monetary pressures of that instability — the billon content was already low, and local coinage functioned more as a political declaration of episcopal autonomy than as a trusted trading medium.
The two shield varieties catalogued under Haljak II#623 suggest sequential die production rather than deliberate design revision, likely reflecting different die-cutters working across the decade-long emission window.
