Interesting fact
The 2 Mariengroschen coin from the Principality of Waldeck-Pyrmont, minted between 1820 and 1825, features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the initials "GFH" (for George Frederick Henry) on the obverse side, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves and a ribbon bearing the motto "Fürchte Gott, Liebe Vaterland" (Fear God, Love Fatherland).
