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 great economic change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1838, just a few years after the formation of the German Customs Union, which aimed to create a unified economic zone across the various German states. The coin's introduction was likely a response to the growing need for a standardized currency that could be used across the different regions of Germany.
