Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Thalers - George IV 1816-1819 coin from the Duchy of Brunswick (German States) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of George IV, who was the King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1820 to 1830. During his reign, there was a shift towards the use of paper money and the decline of gold and silver coins as a means of currency. Despite this, the 5 Thalers coin remained a valuable and widely used currency in the German States, and its gold content made it a popular choice for trading and commerce.
