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. The 1 Gulden coin, which features Philip August, the ruling Landgrave of Hessen-Homburg at the time, was part of this effort, as it was designed to be used across multiple states and was made of a standardized material, silver (.900), and weight, 10.6g. This coin is a tangible representation of the economic and political changes that were taking place in Germany during this time period.
