| Additional information |
George Louis governed Calenberg-Hannover as Elector from 1698, a role that ended when he departed for London in 1714 to become George I of Great Britain — making this a coinage tied entirely to his German electoral career before the dynastic union with Britain changed everything. The Mariengroschen denomination was a north German staple, named for the Virgin Mary and rooted in late medieval monetary conventions that persisted stubbornly in the fragmented currency landscape of the Holy Roman Empire. Welter 2202 covers the type across the full striking period, with minor variations in die execution documented across the run.
