Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Ducat - George II 1730 from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover (German States) coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of George II, who was the King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1727 to 1760. During his reign, the British Empire was expanding rapidly, and trade and commerce were increasingly important to the economy. The coin's gold content and its status as a standard circulation coin reflect the growing wealth and influence of the German States during this time.
