Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, particularly in the German states. The coin was minted during the reign of George II, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover from 1741 to 1757. During this time, the German states were experiencing significant political and economic changes, including the rise of the Enlightenment and the Seven Years' War. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency throughout the region.
