Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover, minted during the reign of George Louis (1705-1710), was used as a means of payment for the workers who built the famous Herrenhausen Gardens in Hanover, Germany. The gardens were constructed between 1666 and 1714 and were considered one of the most beautiful baroque gardens in Europe at the time. The coin's connection to this significant cultural and historical landmark adds to its interest and value among collectors.
