Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Principality of Waldeck-Pyrmont, minted during the reign of Charles August Frederick (1730-1761), features an interesting design element - a stylized depiction of a horse on the reverse side. This design was a nod to the region's rich history of horse breeding and trading, which was an important part of the local economy at the time.
