Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in the Kingdom of Hannover. The coin was minted from 1854 to 1856, during the reign of George V, who was the last king of Hannover before it was annexed by Prussia in 1866. This period saw significant political and economic changes in the region, including the introduction of new currency standards and the expansion of trade and commerce. Despite these changes, the 1/24 Thaler coin remained a widely used denomination during this time, reflecting the importance of small denomination coins in everyday transactions.
