I understand King George II was from the House of Hanover and was "Elector" as ruler of the Brunswick-Luneberg German State from 1727-1760. "Pfenig" on the reverse could be a denomination? However there is no date I can see. (info provided by redditor u/exonumismaniac) Edited by welderfur 04/05/2022 11:19 am Report this Post to the Staff

They were used as game tokens and counting tokens. This one is of German origin. Search for "Georg II rechenpfennig" too see other examples (the reverse inscription ends with RECHEN PFENIG, "counting token" in German). Report this Post to the Staff
