| Aanvullende informatie |
Ernest August came to the Hanoverian throne in 1837 under immediate controversy — his first act as king was to annul the liberal constitution of 1833, provoking the famous protest of the Göttingen Seven, a group of professors that included the Brothers Grimm. This small billon issue belongs to the opening years of his reign, struck while that constitutional crisis was still reverberating through German intellectual circles.
The .218 fineness places this firmly in fiduciary territory, a deliberate policy to stretch silver reserves across high-volume petty coinage.
