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 issued in 1836-1837, during the reign of King William IV, who was trying to modernize and strengthen the German states. The coin's gold content and weight were carefully regulated to ensure its value and authenticity, reflecting the kingdom's efforts to establish a stable currency and economy.
