Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The late 18th century saw the rise of the Enlightenment and the fall of absolutist monarchies, and this coin was minted during the reign of George III, who was the King of Great Britain and Ireland at the time. Additionally, the coin was minted in the German States, specifically in Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover, which was a region that was undergoing significant economic and political changes during this period.
