Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Groschen coin from the Kingdom of Hannover is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The coin was minted between 1858 and 1865, a period that saw the rise of nationalism and the unification of Germany, which ultimately led to the formation of the German Empire in 1871.
