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 change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1832, just a few years after the Napoleonic Wars had ended, and it was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the German States. The coin's design features an image of King William IV on one side and an eagle on the other, symbolizing the kingdom's power and influence. Despite being made of gold, the coin was not particularly valuable at the time, with a value of only 2½ Thaler. Today, however, the coin is highly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and rarity.
