The 2/3 Thaler denomination — equivalent to the Gulden — was a workhorse of North German commerce, and Brunswick-Lüneburg's issues of this period circulated across a monetary zone that had no shortage of competing silver. George III held the Electorate of Hanover in personal union with Great Britain, though by 1806 the French occupation had made that connection largely theoretical on the ground. Napoleon dissolved the Holy Roman Empire that same year, and Hanoverian coinage of this window sits in a peculiar administrative limbo — struck in the name of a king who could not set foot in his own electorate.
