| Additional information |
George Louis ruled Calenberg-Hannover as Elector from 1698, but his significance to numismatists lies in what came after: in 1714 he became George I of Great Britain, the first Hanoverian monarch on the British throne. Coins struck in his name before that transition carry the authority of a German princely state that was simultaneously maneuvering through the War of the Spanish Succession and consolidating territorial influence across Lower Saxony.
The Mariengroschen — named for the Virgin Mary — was a regional silver denomination deeply embedded in north German commerce for over two centuries before this issue.
