George Louis governed Calenberg-Hannover as Elector from 1698, but his attention was increasingly directed toward securing the British succession under the 1701 Act of Settlement — he would become George I of Great Britain in 1714. The 12 Mariengroschen was a workhorse denomination of the north German monetary system, its value pegged to the Mariengroschen reckoning that had persisted across Lower Saxony for generations despite repeated attempts at imperial standardization.
Welter 2172 distinguishes this type within a crowded field of similar issues from the Hanoverian mints at Clausthal and Zellerfeld, both active during this window.
