Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Hannover is that it features an image of Ernest August, the King of Hanover, on one side, while the other side bears the inscription "6 EINE FEINE MARK" which translates to "6 fine marks" in English. This inscription indicates the coin's value in relation to the standard unit of account in the German States at the time, which was the Mark. This coin was minted in 1841, during Ernest August's reign, and its unique design and silver content make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
