Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the death of Sophia of Pfalz, who was the wife of George I Louis, the ruler of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover. The coin's design features an image of Sophia on one side and George I Louis on the other, with an inscription that reads "Sophia, die edle und getreue Gemahlin" (Sophia, the noble and faithful consort). This coin is a rare and valuable example of early 18th-century German numismatics and is highly sought after by collectors.
