Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1719 Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover 1 Ducat coin 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 of the House of Hanover and ruled from 1714 to 1727. The coin's mintage was a result of the Harz Ausbeute, a mining agreement between the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg and the Prince-Bishop of Halberstadt, which allowed for the exploitation of silver and gold deposits in the Harz mountains. The coin's gold content and weight were carefully regulated to ensure its authenticity and value, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
