Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Körtling coin from the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political upheaval in Europe. Henry the younger, who ruled the principality from 1535-1541, was a prominent figure in the Protestant Reformation and his coinage reflects the tumultuous period in which it was produced. The coin's design features a unique blend of Catholic and Protestant imagery, reflecting the complex religious landscape of the time. Additionally, the coin's silver content and relatively low weight make it a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
