Interesting fact

The Landgraviate of Hessen-Homburg was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and its coinage was minted in limited quantities. As a result, coins like the 2 Albus - Frederick II 1692 are relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors. In fact, this coin is considered a "key date" within the series, meaning that it is particularly difficult to find and highly valuable.
