Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Hannover is that it features an image of King Ernest Augustus, who was the ruler of the kingdom from 1837 until his death in 1851. The coin was minted in 1840, and it is made of silver with a purity of .993, which is unusually high for a circulating coin. This suggests that the coin was intended to be a symbol of the kingdom's wealth and prosperity, and it is likely that it was used for large transactions or as a store of value.
