Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover (German States) made of Silver features an image of George III, who was the King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1760 until his death in 1820. However, this coin was minted during a time when George III was not yet the king, but rather the Prince of Wales. This means that the coin was minted before George III ascended to the throne, making it a rare and unique piece of numismatic history.
