Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Thalers - George III 1813-1814 coin from the Kingdom of Hannover (German States) is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Europe. The Napoleonic Wars had disrupted trade and caused inflation, leading to a shortage of gold and silver coins. As a result, the Kingdom of Hannover, like many other German states, began minting coins made of less valuable metals, such as copper and silver-plated copper, to address the shortage. Despite being made of a less valuable metal, the 10 Thalers coin still maintained its value and was widely used in trade and commerce.
