Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1/24 Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Hannover is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The coin was introduced as part of a new currency system aimed at stabilizing the economy and combating inflation. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remained in circulation for several years and is now a sought-after collector's item.
