Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Goldgulden coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover (German States) made of Gold (.986) weighing 12.93 g is that it was minted during the reign of George II, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg from 1727 until his death in 1765. This coin was issued as a standard circulation coin in 1750, and it features an image of George II on one side and the coat of arms of Brunswick-Lüneburg on the other. The use of gold in the coin's composition was a symbol of the duchy's wealth and power.
