Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Thalers - William IV 1835 coin from the Kingdom of Hannover (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1835, just a few years after the Congress of Vienna, which had established a new political order in Europe following the Napoleonic Wars. The Kingdom of Hannover, which was a relatively new state at the time, was trying to establish its own currency and economic system, and the 5 Thalers coin was part of this effort. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin was made with high-quality gold (.896) and weighed 6.68 grams, indicating the value and importance placed on it by the Kingdom of Hannover.
