Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Körtling coin is that it was issued during the reign of John Gottfried II of Guttenberg, who was the Prince-Bishop of the Bishopric of Würzburg from 1684 to 1697. Despite being a religious leader, Gottfried II was known for his secular interests and policies, including his support for the arts and his efforts to modernize the economy of the bishopric. This coin, which features Gottfried II's portrait on one side and the coat of arms of the Bishopric of Würzburg on the other, is a tangible reminder of his impact on the region's history and culture.
