Interesting fact
The 1 Kronenthaler coin from the Principality of Waldeck-Pyrmont, minted in 1824 during the reign of George Frederick Henry, features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the principality on one side, and the number "1" on the other. This design was used to indicate the coin's denomination and to showcase the principality's symbol of power and authority.
