1⁄24 Thaler - George IV

Brunswick's fractional thaler coinage of the early 1820s was issued under the authority of George IV as King of Great Britain and simultaneous ruler of Hanover — a personal union that made him nominal sovereign over Brunswick's coinage policy without ever setting foot in the duchy. The billon fineness here reflects a deliberate cost-cutting measure common to German minor states struggling with post-Napoleonic fiscal strain, not a debasement by neglect.

AKS 34 is not a rare attribution, but survivors in unworn condition are genuinely scarce given how aggressively these low-denomination pieces circulated in daily trade.
