Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Pfenning - Frederick Charles August (Silver pattern strike) 1809 from Principality of Waldeck-Pyrmont (German States) made of Silver weighing 2 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The coin was minted in 1809, just a few years after the Napoleonic Wars had ended, and during a period of political and economic instability in the German states.
