| Additional information |
Reval — modern Tallinn — was founded as a Danish royal fortress in 1219 following the Battle of Lyndanisse, and these thin, single-sided bracteates circulated as the city's earliest municipal coinage. The bracteate form was already archaic by Baltic standards when these were struck, a deliberate adoption of north German penny conventions rather than the heavier coinages circulating further east.
Danish Estonia was sold to the Teutonic Order in 1346 for 19,000 Köln marks of silver, ending over a century of Valdemar-era colonial administration and terminating this series entirely.
