Interesting fact

The 1 Kronenthaler coin from the Principality of Waldeck-Pyrmont (German States) made of Silver (.833) weighing 28.06 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Europe, specifically during the Napoleonic Wars. The Principality of Waldeck-Pyrmont was a small state located in what is now northern Germany, and it was one of the many German states that were affected by the wars. Despite the turmoil, the principality was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as the 1 Kronenthaler, which was used as a means of payment and trade within the region.
