Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 16 Gute Groschen coin from the Kingdom of Hannover is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1822, just a few years after the Napoleonic Wars had ended, and the German States were in the process of transitioning from a feudal system to a more modern, centralized government. This coin, which features an image of King George IV on one side and the Hannoverian coat of arms on the other, was a symbol of the new economic and political order that was emerging in Germany during this time.
