<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 4354938, member: 8959&quot;]This 3 Kreuzer coin issued by the Langraviate of Hessen-Homburg is a good example of the type of German State coins I like the most. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hessen-Homburg was a tiny enclave located very close to Frankfurt and between the much larger Duchies of Nassau and Hessen. It consisted basically of the town of Bad-Homburg and the lands immediately surrounding it - a mere 275 km2 and 24000 inhabitants. The Landgraviate was quickly absorbed by Hessen and then Prussia following the Revolution of 1848 and the childless death of the last ruler. </p><p><br /></p><p>Its coinage in the 19th century is accordingly very scarce and highly sought by collectors. This 3 Kreuzer coin struck in 1840 is one of the rarest among the minor issues and is only the second or 3rd. example to be auctioned in more than 20 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1101718[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1101719[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
