| Additional information |
The Dreier — literally "threepence" in Low German reckoning — was a small-denomination silver struck by Hannover during a period of municipal financial strain following the Thirty Years' War. The city retained minting rights as a matter of civic privilege, distinct from the surrounding Duchy, and exercised them jealously through the mid-seventeenth century. Production across this eighteen-year span was almost certainly irregular, tied to silver availability rather than scheduled output.
KM#46 encompasses multiple die marriages; struck pieces vary noticeably in flan quality.
