Interesting fact

The 1 Körtling coin from the City of Schweinfurt (German States) made of Copper weighing 1.1 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thirty Years War had just ended in 1648, and many German states were struggling to rebuild their economies. The City of Schweinfurt, in particular, was an important trading center and the coin was likely used for everyday transactions. Despite its small denomination, the coin was made of copper, which was a valuable resource at the time. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a glimpse into the economic and social history of 17th-century Europe.
