One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, particularly in the German states. The coin was minted during the reign of George II, who was the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover from 1739 to 1759. During this time, the German states were experiencing significant political and economic changes, including the rise of Prussia and the decline of the Holy Roman Empire. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency throughout the region.
