| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bears the shield of Wilhelm von Fürstenberg, Master of the Livonian Order, depicted as a horizontally divided heraldic escutcheon with a stepped or embattled partition, rendered in a bold, slightly irregular hammered style characteristic of mid-16th century Baltic billon coinage. The shield is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. A circular Latin legend surrounds the central device, interrupted by the last two digits of the date (58), reading WILH - ELM - V · D · G - M · LI - 5 - 8, abbreviating Wilhelmus Dei Gratia Magister Livoniae. The overall design is typical of the schilling coinage struck at the Riga Mint under the authority of the Livonian Order. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Wilhelm von Fürstenberg's tenure as Master of the Livonian Order was collapsing in real time when this schilling was struck. The Livonian War had begun that same year, with Ivan IV's forces pushing into Order territory from the east. Fürstenberg was captured by Russian troops in 1560 and died a prisoner in Yaroslavl. This coin was minted during the last functional years of an institution that would formally dissolve in 1561 — the Order ceding its remaining territories to Poland-Lithuania and Sweden rather than face annihilation.
