Interesting fact

The 1½ Pfennig coin was minted during the reign of George Louis, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover from 1718 to 1722. The coin was made of copper and had a unique design, featuring an image of George Louis on one side and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover on the other. The coin was used as a standard circulation coin during George Louis' reign and was valued at 1½ pfennigs, which was a significant amount at the time. It's worth noting that the coin's design and value were not unusual for the time period, but the fact that it was minted during George Louis' reign makes it an interesting piece of history for collectors and numismatists.
