Interesting fact
The 1/24 Thaler coin from the Principality of Waldeck-Pyrmont (German States) made of Billon (.368 silver) weighing 1.99g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1806-1807, during the reign of George, the ruler of the Principality of Waldeck-Pyrmont. This was a period of significant upheaval in Europe, with the Napoleonic Wars and the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire leading to a reorganization of the German states. Despite these challenges, the Principality of Waldeck-Pyrmont was able to maintain its independence and issue its own coins, such as this 1/24 Thaler.
