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 introduced in 1849, just a year after the German Revolutions of 1848, which aimed to unify Germany and establish a democratic government. The coin's mintage was a symbol of the kingdom's efforts to stabilize its economy and maintain its independence during this tumultuous period.
