Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover (German States) made of Silver features an image of George III 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 of the time. This coin was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, with the American Revolutionary War taking place just a few years prior and the French Revolution on the horizon. Despite these tumultuous times, the coin remains a testament to the enduring legacy of the House of Hanover and the rich history of the German States.
