Interesting fact
The ⅓ Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover (German States) made of Silver weighing 6.04 g was minted during the reign of George Louis (1699-1700), who was the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg and later became the King of Great Britain and Ireland. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin during his reign, and its design featured the coat of arms of the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg on one side and the image of George Louis on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was significant because it reflected the value of the silver standard, which was widely used in Europe during that time.
