English: Gilt bronze, d. = 36 mm.
George V, King of Hanover, 1851-1866 He was the grandson of King George III of Great Britain. As a legitimate male-line descendant of George III, he remained a member of the British Royal Family, and second in line to the British throne, until the birth of Queen Victoria's first child, Victoria, Princess Royal, in 1840. Contrary to the wishes of the parliament, Hanover joined the Austrian camp in the war. As a result, the Prussian army occupied Hanover and the Hanoverian army surrendered on 29 June 1866, the King and royal family having fled to Austria. The Prussian government formally annexed Hanover on 20 September, but the deposed King never renounced his rights to the throne or acknowledged Prussia's actions. From exile in Gmunden, Austria, George V appealed in vain for the European great powers to intervene on behalf of Hanover. Head l., around: "GEORG V v. G. G. KOENIG v. HANNOVER"/3 lines between 2 laurel branches: "LANGENSALZA 27. JUNI 1866.". Edge letttering: "C. RÖHRS". v. Heyden 235. Medallist: (Heinrich) Jauner, 1833 Wien - 1912 Vienna, Austria. Condition: UNCIRCULATED. |
