Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the German States. The coin was issued by George I Louis, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg and King of Hanover, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in the region. The coin's design features the image of George I Louis on one side and the coat of arms of the House of Hanover on the other. The coin was made of silver and weighed 6.49 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at the time. Despite its age, this coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
