Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Principality of Waldeck-Pyrmont, minted in 1821 during the reign of George II Henry, features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the Waldeck-Pyrmont coat of arms, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. This design was a common motif in coins of the German States during that time period, symbolizing the unity and strength of the region.
