Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1/12 Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Hannover is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The coin was minted between 1858 and 1862, a period that saw the rise of nationalism and the unification of Germany, which ultimately led to the abolition of the Thaler as a currency unit in favor of the Mark. Despite this, the 1/12 Thaler coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
