Interesting fact
The ⅔ Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover (German States) was minted during the reign of George I (1705-1711) and features an interesting design element - the obverse side of the coin depicts a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the House of Hanover, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a horse. This design was meant to symbolize the power and strength of the Hanoverian dynasty, which ruled the region for over a century.
