| Additional information |
Hannover's monetary relationship with Britain after 1714 produced a persistent administrative oddity: the Elector's German territories ran their own coinage entirely independent of British parliamentary oversight, answering only to the Hanoverian chamber. By 1792, George III had reigned as Elector for over thirty years yet had never set foot in his German domains — a detachment reflected in the purely local character of these small copper issues, which circulated entirely within the electorate and held no value across the Channel.
