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 III, who was the King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1760 to 1820. During this time, the German States were undergoing significant political and economic reforms, including the introduction of new currency systems and trade policies. The 1 Ducat coin, made of gold and weighing 3.49 grams, was likely used for large transactions and trade, and its value would have been equivalent to a significant amount of money at the time. Despite the historical significance of this coin, it is not widely known or celebrated today, making it an interesting and unique piece of numismatic history.
