Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The Kingdom of Hannover, where the coin was minted, was a member of the German Confederation, a loose association of 39 German states that existed from 1815 to 1866. During this time, there was a growing movement towards German unification, which ultimately led to the formation of the German Empire in 1871. This coin, minted in 1854, is a tangible reminder of a pivotal moment in European history.
