Interesting fact
The 1 Körtling coin from the City of Northeim (German States) made of Silver weighing 0.94 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was minted during the reign of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, who was trying to standardize coinage across the German states. The Körtling coin was one of the first standardized coins issued in the region and it paved the way for the development of a uniform currency system in Germany.
