This specimen was lot 2149 in Sincona sale 23 (Zürich, May 2015), where it sold for 1,200 CHF (about US$1,507 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

"Hannover, Kurfürstentum, ab 1814 Königreich, Georg V. 1851-1866 Vereinskrone 1858. Sehr schön-vorzüglich. (kingdom of Hannover, George V, 1851-66, union krone of 1858. Very fine to extremely fine.)"

The krone was issued in Austria (KM 2253), Hannover 1857-62, Prussia 1858-70 (Fr-2437), Bavaria (Fr-280), Brunswick-Wolfenbuttel and Saxony (Fr-2902) 1857-71. Despite being minted in substantial numbers, none are common today, most likely having been melted to make ten and twenty mark after the reform of 1871. In addition, Hannover was annexed to Prussia in 1866, depriving this coin of its defender.

Recorded mintage: 46,571.

Specification: 11.11 g, 0.900 fine gold, this specimen 11.09 g.

Catalog reference: KM 232, D.S. 117. Schl. 430. Fr-1183.
