Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover (German States) made of Silver weighing 29.28 g, features an image of George II August (Weißer Schwan- Ausbeute) on one side and an eagle on the other. It was minted between 1744-1756 and was a standard circulation coin during that time. It's interesting to note that the coin's design was inspired by the thaler coin of the Holy Roman Empire, which was widely used in Europe during the 16th to 19th centuries.
