Interesting fact

The 6 Mariengroschen coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover (German States) made of Silver weighing 3.2g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of George Louis, who was the first British monarch to rule Hanover, a region in Germany, in personal union with Great Britain. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted during this period of history, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
