Ferding Öffentlichkeit Deposited
A silver coin issued by the Bishops of Dorpat as early as 1528, and by Erik XIV of Sweden, for Reval, in 1561 and later. It also belongs to the currency of the Order of Livonia. The name means one fourth, and four were originally computed to the Mark, but the later issues became so depreciated that they were only worth one half the original amount. See Mite.
