<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1307790, member: 29751&quot;]I simply could not pass this one up.&nbsp; This is my newest addition to the growing herd of Kingdom of Hannover coins from 1815-1866 featuring the Saxon Steed.&nbsp; I&#039;m such a fan of this design!&nbsp; There is something quite graceful about this rearing steed, which has been featured on coins at least back to the 1690s from Brunswick-Luneberg and Brunswick-Wolfenbutel.&nbsp; This 1865 issue is one of the last from the &quot;Kingdom of Hannover&quot;, as in 1866 Prussia conquered/annexed the Kingdom of Hannover in the Austro-Prussian War, and eventually Germany was unified in 1871.&nbsp; This same rearing horse can still be found today on the flag of the State of Lower Saxony.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin has a beautiful strong strike and booming luster.&nbsp; I may try to buff up the slab a bit and take another set of pics sometime, but for now here is my new beauty! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]147044.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
