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 during the reign of George II August, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover from 1745 to 1756. During this time, the German states were experiencing significant political and economic changes, including the rise of absolutism and the decline of the Holy Roman Empire. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable and reliable form of currency, and its silver content made it a valuable commodity in trade and commerce.
