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 1834 and 1837, a period known as the "Vormärz" era, which saw the rise of liberalism and nationalism across the continent. This movement towards greater political and economic freedom had a significant impact on the production and distribution of coins, as governments began to adopt more modern and efficient methods of minting. The 1/12 Thaler coin, with its high silver content and detailed design, is a testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that was characteristic of this time period.
