Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the German States, specifically during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). Despite the conflict, the Bishopric of Würzburg was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, including the 1 Körtling coin. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Würzburg during a difficult period in history.
