Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of George I Louis, who was the first British monarch to rule Hanover, a region in Germany, in personal union with Great Britain. This period saw significant trade and cultural exchange between the two regions, and the coin reflects this history. The coin's gold content and intricate design make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in European history and currency.
