The Georgians

The British Royal Family’s long association with Germany began in 1714, when George I became the first Hanoverian king. This display uses coins and medals to show the main characters in the Royal Family from 1714 to George III, and the struggle with the rival Stuart dynasty and their Jacobite supporters. It highlights the exploits of the Georgian Royal Navy and the creation of a world empire, temporarily halted by the American Revolution. And it explores money in Georgian Britain.
