Description

The listing, Mid 1860's To Hanover Cumberland Jack Rare has ended.

This is an interesting historical coin.When Victoria was crowned Queen in 1837 She could not also be the King of Hanover in Germany since she was female. She sent the unpopular Duke of Northumberland to Hanover as King in exile. (What an exile) This coin commemorates that event.On close inspection the rider appears to be a monkey which shows the Dukes popularity.These coins were outlawed in 1883.

Questions & Comments

As an addendum ,These coins seemed to be use as counting tokens in game rooms which adds to their curiosity,
