Comment

In 1701, Georges I became a knight of the Order of the Garter, hence the presence of the order's motto on the reverse here.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

En 1701, Georges Ier devient chevalier de l'ordre de la Jarretière, d'où la présence de la devise de l'ordre sur le revers ici.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler 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 1717, just a few years after the end of the Great Northern War, which had a profound impact on the economy and trade in the region. Additionally, the coin was minted during the reign of George I Louis, who was the first British monarch to rule Hanover, which was a significant event in the history of Europe.
