Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover, made of silver, features an image of George II on one side and an eagle on the other. The eagle is depicted holding a shield with the coat of arms of the House of Hanover, which was the ruling dynasty at the time. This coin was minted during George II's reign from 1727 to 1760 and was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States. It's an interesting piece of history that gives us a glimpse into the economic and political landscape of Europe during that time period.
