1 Körtling - Christoph Francis of Hutten

Christoph Franz von Hutten governed the Bishopric of Würzburg from 1724 until his death in 1729 — a five-year episcopate short enough that his coinage is chronically underrepresented in collections. The Körtling, a minor silver denomination rooted in the north German Kreuzer tradition, survived into the eighteenth century largely through ecclesiastical mints that resisted the rationalization pressures felt by secular states. Würzburg was among the last to keep such fractional silver alive in regular issue.
