⅙ Thaler - George III

Brunswick-Lüneburg-Calenberg-Hannover was a peculiar constitutional arrangement by the late eighteenth century — George III ruled it not as King of Great Britain but as Elector, answerable to the Holy Roman Empire's structures rather than Parliament. The coinage accordingly operated under a separate monetary authority, with denominations calibrated to the North German Thaler system entirely independent of sterling.

The two-year run of this type, 1790–1791, coincides with the final years before the French Revolutionary Wars began destabilizing the region's monetary order. Hanoverian silver issues from this window circulated into a territory that would, within a decade, fall under French occupation.
