6 Mariengroschen 1/6 Thaler - George I

George I ascended the British throne in August 1714 under the Act of Settlement, but remained Elector of Hanover simultaneously — a dual role that created immediate pressure on the Calenberg-Hannover mint to produce coinage reflecting the new political configuration. The 6 Mariengroschen issues of 1714–1715 fall directly within this transitional window, struck while the administration was still sorting out which titles and authorities governed each territory's coinage independently of the British crown.

The Mariengroschen denomination was a distinctly north German accounting unit, rooted in the currency systems of the Welfen territories rather than the broader Reichstaler conventions.
