Interesting fact
The 1 Körtling 1500 coin from the City of Göttingen (German States) was minted in the year 1618, during the reign of Duke Johann Friedrich von Braunschweig-Lüneburg. It was a time of great economic and cultural growth for the city, which was known for its university and its role in the Hanseatic League, a powerful trading alliance that spanned across Northern Europe. The coin's design features the coat of arms of the city, which includes a shield with three horizontal bars and a crown on top, surrounded by two lions. The coin's silver content and intricate design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
