Interesting fact
The ⅙ Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover (German States) made of Silver weighing 3.25 g was minted during the reign of George III (1792-1797) 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 and political change in Europe, with the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte having a significant impact on the continent. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, reflecting the importance of silver as a store of value during times of economic uncertainty.
