This specimen was lot 3661 in Künker sale 264 (Osnabrück, June 2015), where it sold for €2,800 (about US$3,617 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"BRAUNSCHWEIG-CALENBERG-HANNOVER, AB 1815 KÖNIGREICH HANNOVER Ernst August, 1837-1851. 5 Taler 1849, B. GOLD. Vorzüglich-Stempelglanz. (kingdom of Hannover, Ernest Augustus, 1837-51, five thalers of 1849, extremely fine to uncirculated.)"
After the death of William IV of England in 1837, England passed to Victoria and Hannover passed to a cadet branch in the male line. This type was minted 1849 and 1851 and is rather scarce. Friedberg assigns the same catalog number to this and the 1845-48 issue but the SCWC quite properly separates them, as the obverses are distinct. The gold 2½, five and ten thaler were superseded by the half krone and krone in 1857. Hannover was annexed to Prussia in 1866, ending the coinage.
