Charlotte Mecklenburg *1761* George 111 Consort - Gold Plated Coin

A great opportunity to purchase this stunning Gold plated coin celebrating her Union with King George 111 of England & Ireland.


Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (Sophia Charlotte; 19 May 1744 – 17 November 1818) was Queen of Great Britain and Queen of Ireland as the wife of King George III from their marriage on 8 September 1761 until the union of the two kingdoms on 1 January 1801, after which she was Queen of the United Kingdom until her death in 1818. As George's wife, she was also Electress of Hanover until becoming Queen of Hanover on 12 October 1814, when the electorate became a kingdom.

Born George William Frederick on the 4th June 1738 into the Hanover Dynasty. His first spoken language was English unlike his two predecessors whos first language was German. He reigned through two Centuries.  His wars inculded French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars also the American Revolution war. In his later life he became mentaly ill and his Son George (George 1V) pretty much ran the show for him in last ten years of his life where he sadly died in 1820.

George 111 married Charlotte Mecklenburg and was very happily married and took on no mistresses, the King & Queen had 15 children nine sons and six daughters. I can highly recommend a book by Janice Hadlow "The Strangest Family" The private lives of Queen Charlotte and the Hanoverians.

This Coin IS NOT GOLD, for historical purpose, would make a great coin gift idea.

George 111 1760 - 1820
