Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from Landgraviate of Hessen-Homburg is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1840, just a few years before the German Confederation was formed, which was a union of 39 German states that aimed to create a unified economic and political system across Germany. The coin's minting was likely a response to the growing need for a standardized currency across the German states, and it features the image of Philip August, the ruler of Hessen-Homburg at the time.
