Owner's Description

Purchased on 5/30/2011. This coin features the Saxon Steed, which is a favorite heraldic motif of the Saxons. The Saxon Steed has very old origins, possibly as far back as the 5th Century AD. The image is common on the coinage of the Kingdom of Hannover, which existed from 1814-1866. To this day, the Coat of Arms of Lower Saxony features the image of the Saxon Steed.
