Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Körtling coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1794, just a few years before the French Revolution, which had a significant impact on the German states and led to the abolition of many of the traditional feudal systems. The coin's mintage was also a response to the growing need for a standardized currency system across the German states, which had previously used a variety of different coins and currencies. Despite its small denomination, the 1 Körtling coin played an important role in the economic and political changes of the time.
