Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, particularly in the German states. The coin was minted in the midst of the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), which was a global conflict that involved many European powers, including the German states. Additionally, the coin was minted during the reign of George II August, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover from 1727 until his death in 1765. This was a time of significant political and economic change in the region, as the various German states were struggling to maintain their independence and power in the face of growing external threats. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience and craftsmanship of the people who minted it.
