Interesting fact
The 1 Körtling coin from the City of Einbeck (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.16 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire. The coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Maximilian I, who was trying to standardize coinage across the empire. The Körtling was a new denomination introduced by Maximilian, and it was intended to be used as a standardized currency across the empire. This coin is a rare example of early standardized currency in Europe and is a testament to the efforts of Maximilian I to create a more unified economic system.
