Interesting fact
The ½ Mariengroschen coin from the Principality of Waldeck-Pyrmont (German States) made of Copper weighing 5.84 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Europe, particularly in the German states. The coin was minted in 1825, just a few years after the Congress of Vienna in 1815, which saw the major powers of Europe come together to redraw the map of Europe following the Napoleonic Wars. The Principality of Waldeck-Pyrmont was one of the many small German states that existed at the time, and the coin is a tangible reminder of the political and economic changes that were taking place in Europe during this period.
