Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of Sophia of Pfalz, who was the wife of George I Louis, the ruler of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover. The coin features an image of Sophia on one side and George I Louis on the other, symbolizing the bond between the two and the impact of her death on the region.
