1 Schilling Sword left, key right

The Bishopric of Dorpat — a Catholic ecclesiastical state centered on present-day Tartu in Estonia — was effectively finished by 1558. The Livonian War had begun the previous year when Ivan IV's forces invaded, and the bishopric's last bishop, Hermann II Wesel, was captured by Russian troops in 1558 itself. This schilling was struck in the final months of a collapsing polity, which explains the extreme rarity of the type; Haljak lists very few surviving examples across all grades.
