Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Körtling coin from the Bishopric of Würzburg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "S.R.I." (Sacri Romani Imperii) in the upper left quadrant of the obverse side. This shield represents the coin's membership in the Saxon Circle, a group of territories in the Holy Roman Empire that were under the leadership of the Elector of Saxony. This feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and adds to its historical significance.
