formerly in the Wildman Collection
Hannover 1707 2-3 thaler rev JK.jpg

The mythical creature on the obverse is a wild man of the forest. Elector Georg Ludwig (1698-1727) became king George I of England in 1714. This type was struck 1701-11; 24 mariengroschen = 2/3 thaler. Hannover struck this denomination until 1789. The Brunswick coinages are among the most complicated series of German states issues outside of Saxony. The SCWC lists coins for Brunswick-Blankenburg, Brunswick-Lüneberg-Calenberg-Hannover, Brunswick-Lüneberg-Celle and Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel. Hannover was the most important and eventually absorbed the others before itself being annexed by Prussia in 1866.

Recorded mintage: unknown but fairly common.

Specification: silver.

Catalog reference: Welter 2158, Dav-423, KM 15.
