Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1730 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 II, who was the King of Great Britain and Ireland, as well as the Elector of Hanover. 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 the rich silver deposits in the Harz mountains. The coin's unique design and high gold content made it a popular trade coin throughout Europe, and it remains a sought-after collector's item to this day.
