Interesting fact

The 1⁄12 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Brunswick (German States) made of Silver features an image of George IV, who was the King of Hanover and the United Kingdom during the time the coin was minted (1821-1823). This coin was used as a standard circulation coin in the German States, and its design was inspired by the Thaler coin, which was a popular silver coin that was widely used in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries.
