Interesting fact
The 2 Mariengroschen coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.03 g was minted during the reign of George Louis (1698-1699). It's interesting to note that George Louis was the first ruler of the House of Hanover, which was a powerful dynasty that ruled the Electorate of Hanover and later the Kingdom of Hanover, as well as the United Kingdom, from 1714 to 1901. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of history that serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the German States during that time period.
