Interesting fact
The ⅔ Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover (German States) made of Silver was minted during the reign of George II (1752-1754) and features an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of the German States on the other. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic change in Europe, as the traditional medieval system of coinage was being replaced by a new system based on silver and gold. This coin represents a transitional period in the history of currency and is a unique piece of numismatic history.
