Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler 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 in 1840, just a few years before the Revolutions of 1848, which saw widespread political unrest and the overthrow of several European monarchies. Despite this turmoil, the ⅙ Thaler coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency throughout the German States.
