Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Hannover is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1844, just a few years after the German Customs Union was formed, which aimed to create a unified economic zone across the various German states. Additionally, the coin was minted during the reign of Ernest August, who was the King of Hanover from 1837 until his death in 1851. This time period saw significant political and social changes in Germany, including the Revolutions of 1848, which had a profound impact on the country's political landscape. Despite these changes, the ⅙ Thaler coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency throughout the German states.
