Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Körtling 1493 coin from the City of Göttingen (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin to signify its value, as it was believed that the hole represented the "soul" of the coin, and that the coin was worthless without it. This design element was used on many coins during this time period in Europe, and it's a distinctive feature that sets this coin apart from others.
