Knyphausen 5508 Slg. Knigge 4401Interesting fact
The 1 Körtling coin from the City of Göttingen (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.59 g is interesting because it was minted during a time when the city was an important center of trade and commerce in Northern Germany. The coin's design, which features the city's coat of arms and other symbols, reflects the city's rich history and cultural heritage. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver, a valuable and durable metal, speaks to the coin's intended use as a medium of exchange and store of value.
