Comment
H - Christian Heinrich Haase - Mint master at Hanover MintInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political upheaval in Europe. The Kingdom of Hannover, which was a British-ruled state in what is now Germany, issued this coin in the early 19th century, a period marked by the Napoleonic Wars and the subsequent Congress of Vienna, which redrew the political map of Europe. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and historical significance, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
