Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1820 George IV 1/12 Thaler from the Duchy of Brunswick is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "G" in the center, which represents the Duke of Brunswick, George IV. This coin was minted during a time when the German States were still using a variety of different currencies, and the 1/12 Thaler was a common denomination used in many regions. The use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was also a common practice during this time period.
