Additional information

George Louis — better known as George I of Great Britain — was Elector of Hanover while simultaneously ruling Britain from 1714 onward, and the administrative machinery of Calenberg-Hannover kept issuing petty coinage in his electoral name throughout that dual reign. These copper pfennigs circulated in the German territories entirely independently of his British monetary affairs, a practical consequence of the personal union that never merged the two crowns legally or financially.
