IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ. As of 1st March 2026, RP Coins is changing its legal structure and I will be selling as a sole trader from this date onwards. This affects card payments and bank transfers, which previously went to a company account which now has to be closed to comply with regulations. Faster payments which can be guaranteed to be fully complete by the end of this week can still be made and orders fulfilled the same day. These will not work after 12:00 GMT on 27th February. Unfortunately the necessary setting up of the new account is taking longer than anticipated, so full details will not be available until regulatory requirements have been satisfied. Please contact me via the email link for placing orders and paying until such time. Data protection and payment systems have not been compromised, so you can rest assured that your personal information and bank detail are still safe.

Hanover (1714-1901)

George, Prince Elector of Hanover, was invited to be King George I of England following the death of Queen Anne in 1714 who was not survived by any of her 17 children. He died in 1727 and the throne passed to his son, George II. Unlike his father, he adapted to English society. George II died in 1760 to be succeeded by his grandson George III, the longest reigning male British monarch to date. He died in 1820, having suffered from madness and ill health in his last 10 years. His son, the Prince Regent and the future George IV gave his name to the Regency period. His extravagant lifestyle caused ill-feeling in the general population and gave rise to considerable satirical material. Due to the long reign of his father, he only reigned for 10 years and was succeeded by his younger brother William (1830-1837). It was with some relief that Victoria achieved her majority before William died as he had no legitimate heir. She married Prince Albert, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, with whom she had 9 children. On her death in 1901 the Hanoverian line ended.
