The Livonian Order existed from 1237 as an autonomous branch of the Teutonic Order, and was a member of the Livonian Confederation along with the Archbishopric of Riga and the Bishoprics of Courland, Dorpat, Ösel-Wiek, and Reval. Even after the Teutonic Order began declining around 1410, the Livonian Order continued to thrive independently. After the start of the Livonian War (1558–1583), Livonia's power began to decline, and various parts of its area were taken over by surrounding countries, including Denmark, Lithuania, Russia, and Sweden. The Livonian Order officially ceased to exist in 1561.

Comments

The schillings of Bernd von der Borch (1471-1483) and the early ones of Wolter von Plettenberg (1494-1535) can be difficult to distinguish. The differences are in the symbols that appear above the shield on the obverse.
