Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover, minted during the reign of George Louis (1700-1711), was used as a means of payment in several German states, including Brunswick, Lüneburg, Calenberg, and Hannover. It was made of silver and weighed 29.01 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. The coin's design featured an image of George Louis on one side and the coat of arms of the four German states on the other. Despite its age, some of these coins are still in circulation among collectors today, making them a valuable piece of numismatic history.
