Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover, made of silver, features an image of George I, who was the first British monarch of the House of Hanover. This coin was minted during his reign from 1715 to 1727, and it's interesting to note that the House of Hanover was a powerful dynasty that ruled several German states, including Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover, as well as the United Kingdom. The coin's design and the fact that it was made of silver reflect the importance of trade and commerce during that time period.
