Interesting fact
The Conventionsthaler coin from the Principality of Waldeck-Pyrmont was minted in 1811 during the reign of George I, and it features an image of the prince on one side and the coat of arms of the principality on the other. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, as the continent was transitioning from a feudal system to a more modern, capitalist economy. The coin's silver content and its use as a standard circulation coin reflect this shift, as the use of silver as a currency was becoming more widespread and standardized during this time.
