Surrounding the central device, a circular Latin legend in Gothic lettering reads MONETA . NOVA . HILDESEM, separated by pellet stops and contained between the inner circle and the coin's beaded border.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Hildesheim spent much of the 1530s and 1540s in a precarious position following the Hildesheim Diocesan Feud of 1519–1523, in which the city sided with the losing coalition and was stripped of substantial territorial holdings by the victorious Dukes of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. The city's right to mint small silver coinage in this period was among the few sovereign privileges it retained, making these minor issues politically loaded objects. The Körtling was a low-denomination north German silver type, circulating primarily in regional trade. The eighteen-year span of this issue suggests continuous production rather than a single discrete emission.
