Owner's Description

Purchased on 9/6/2011. The coin is an 1828 16 Gute Groschen, a part of the German States issues of Hannover. It has exceptional luster, some reverse toning, and great eye appeal. Some form of the Saxon Steed design has been used on the coinage of the Saxon States of Germany as far back as the 1600s. This is a beautiful coin, with stunning detail in the horses mane and tail. This coin is interesting because it was minted during the reign of King George IV. He was the son of the well known King George III of England, and he ruled jointly as the King of the United Kingdom and Ireland, and as King of Hannover from 1820 until his death in 1830. His coat of arms includes the image of the white Saxon steed in the center shield.
