Yes, the 1/6 thaler demonstrates that George II ruled Hanover as well as Great Britain. That is what makes it so interesting to me.

On Wikipedia, I found: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Brunswick-Lüneburg Great Britain and Hanover remained united in personal union until the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837.

(The personal union began with the ascension of George I to the British Throne, Jimski)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_union A personal union is the combination of two or more states that have the same monarch while their boundaries, laws, and interests remain distinct

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Victoria Since 1714, Britain had shared a monarch with Hanover in Germany, but under Salic law women were excluded from the Hanoverian succession. While Victoria inherited all the British dominions, Hanover passed instead to her father's younger brother, her unpopular uncle the Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale, who became King of Hanover. He was her heir presumptive until she married and had a child.
