House of Hanover
The coinage of the House of Hanover provides many collecting and investment opportunities. It is possible to put together a type collection or date run of some of the silver denominations and many of the gold coins, particularly the larger denominations, can provide excellent investment opportunities. Before about 1800 coins were struck on screw presses but around this time a new mint was set up at Tower Hill employing powerful steam presses. The great recoinage of 1816 produced a token coinage (with a face value higher than their intrinsic worth) for the first time and many of these issues were beautifully struck.
Please see our current stock of coins from the Hanoverian period listed below. If you have any specific requirements please let us know. We are always keen to purchase single items and collections of high quality milled coins.
