| Aanvullende informatie |
Hessen-Homburg was among the smallest of the German states, covering barely 70 square kilometers, yet its coinage rights under the German Confederation allowed it to strike convention-weight silver on par with far larger neighbors. This 1846 two-gulden piece was issued under Philipp August, who ruled only from 1846 to 1847 — a reign of barely eighteen months — making his coinage inherently short-lived. The Landgraviate itself was absorbed into Prussia in 1866 after the Austro-Prussian War, ending the dynasty entirely.
Combined mintage across Philipp August's few issues was negligible by any standard of the period.
