Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2½ Thaler coin from the Kingdom of Hannover is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Europe. The Napoleonic Wars had recently ended, and many countries, including the German States, were struggling to rebuild their economies and maintain political stability. Despite these challenges, the Kingdom of Hannover was able to produce a high-quality gold coin that has become a sought-after collector's item today.
