Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅛ Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1720, just a few years after the end of the Great Northern War, which had a significant impact on the economy of many European countries, including Germany. Additionally, the coin was minted during the reign of George I Louis, who was the first British monarch to rule Hanover, which was a significant event in the history of Europe. Despite these changes, the coin remained a standard circulation coin, indicating the stability and continuity of the currency system in the region.
