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 in 1715-1716, a period when many European countries were transitioning from a feudal system to a more modern, capitalist economy. The coin's gold content and its use as a standard circulation coin reflect the growing importance of trade and commerce during this time. Additionally, the coin's design, featuring George Louis, the ruling Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, highlights the significance of the duchy's ruling family during this period.
