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 cultural and artistic achievement in Europe, known as the Baroque period. The coin's design, featuring an image of George Louis, the ruling Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, was likely influenced by the ornate and detailed style of Baroque art, which was popular at the time.
