Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Thalers 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 1845, just a few years after the German Customs Union was formed, which aimed to create a unified economic zone across the various German states. Additionally, the coin was minted during the reign of Ernest August, who was the King of Hanover and Duke of Cumberland, and was a member of the House of Hanover, a powerful royal dynasty in Europe. The coin's design, which features an image of Ernest August on one side and the Hanoverian coat of arms on the other, reflects the political and cultural influences of the time.
