| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device comprises the quartered crowned shield of Brunswick-Lüneburg, displaying the heraldic lions of Brunswick and the horse of Hanover among other dynastic charges, surmounted by a royal crown with elaborate mantle or supporters flanking the escutcheon. The coat of arms is rendered in fine relief within a well-defined inner circle. The surrounding legend reads GEORGIUS D • G • PRINC • REGENS, identifying George (IV) as Prince Regent by the Grace of God, disposed clockwise around the coin's periphery in Latin capital letters. The overall style is typical of early nineteenth-century German state coinage with formal heraldic presentation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Brunswick-Lüneburg issued this small gold piece during George IV's tenure as Prince Regent, before his formal accession to the British throne in 1820. The denomination itself — 2½ Thaler — was an awkward fractional unit born of the post-Napoleonic currency chaos that left German states scrambling to reconcile old Reichsthaler conventions with new political realities after the Congress of Vienna reorganized the region entirely.
The short production window of just three years reflects how quickly these transitional denominations were abandoned as more coherent monetary agreements took hold among the German states.
