Interesting fact
The 4 Mariengroschen coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover (German States) made of Silver weighing 2.23g was minted during the reign of George III (1762-1786) and features an image of the king on one side and the coat of arms of the region on the other. What's interesting is that this coin was part of a series of coins minted during George III's reign that were designed to standardize currency across the German states, which at the time were still separate and independent regions. This coin, in particular, was minted in large quantities and was widely used in trade and commerce, making it a significant piece of history for both numismatists and those interested in the economic and political development of Europe during that time period.
