Interesting fact
The 1/24 Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover (German States) made of Billon during George III's reign (1760-1769) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin's Billon composition, which is a mixture of silver and copper, was a common practice during this period as it helped to conserve silver reserves while still maintaining the coin's value. Additionally, the coin's design features the image of George III, who was the King of Great Britain and Ireland at the time, highlighting the political ties between the German States and the British monarchy.
