Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic change in the Principality of Waldeck-Pyrmont. The coin was introduced in 1842, just a few years after the Principality had adopted the Prussian thaler as its official currency, and it was used until 1845, when the Principality switched to the German Empire's gold mark. This coin represents a unique moment in the history of Waldeck-Pyrmont's economy and currency.
