The German George I inherited the throne with the help of Parliament, as a better choice than Anne's half brother, James. George refused to learn English and spent over half his reign in Germany. One of the four shields on his reverses contains the crown of Charlemagne and the legends on the reverse name him Duke of Brunswick and Luneberg, Arch-treasurer of the Holy Roman Empire and Prince Elector.
