Comments

Lübische means Lübeck-pfennig, which indicates the popularity of foreign coins (specifically those from Lübeck) in the earlier times of Livonian coinage.

The Lübische pieces of Dietrich II Damerow (1379-1400), Heinrich II Wrangel (1400-1410), Bernhard II Bülow (1410-1413), Dietrich III Resler (1413-1426) and Dietrich Gronow (1427-1440) can be difficult to distinguish. While the legend is a good indicator, it can sometimes be blurred or illegible. With that being said, the designs on each ruler's coins are slightly different, varying in size and style.

In 1426, at the end of the Livonian Order's monetary reform, the Lübische's name was changed to Pfennig. While this coin is sometimes given date range of 1413-1441, this coin has a crossed sword and key on the obverse rather than the ruler's symbol, indicating this coin was minted as a Lübische before the end of the monetary reform.

Some sources list the ruler as being Dietrich III Resler, while other sources list the ruler as being Dietrich IV Resler.
