Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in Germany. The Landgraviate of Hessen-Homburg was one of the many small states that made up the German Confederation, and in the 1840s, there was a movement towards unification and standardization of currency across the different states. This coin, with its standardized design and silver content, reflects this effort towards a more unified German currency system.
