Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Thalers coin from the Kingdom of Hannover is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1837-1838, a period when the German states were in the process of transitioning from a feudal system to a more modern, centralized state. The coin's mintage was a result of the need for a standardized currency across the German states, and it features the image of Ernest August, the King of Hanover, on one side and the coat of arms of Hanover on the other. The use of gold in the coin's mintage was also significant, as it reflected the value and wealth of the Hanoverian monarchy at the time.
