Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The Kingdom of Hannover, which was a member of the German Confederation, was facing political and economic challenges, and the coin's issuance may have been a way for the government to promote national pride and unity during this time. Additionally, the coin's design, which features an image of King George V, reflects the influence of the British monarchy on the German states during this period.
