Comment
In 1782, William IV became a knight of the Order of the Garter, hence the presence of the order's motto on the obverse.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅔ 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 1832-1833, just a few years after the Napoleonic Wars had ended, and during a period of political and economic instability in the German states. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item, with its silver content and historical significance making it a unique piece of numismatic history.
