Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in the Principality of Waldeck-Pyrmont. In 1856, the year the coin was minted, the principality was in the process of transitioning from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy. This change in government structure was a result of the Revolutions of 1848, which had a significant impact on the political landscape of Europe. Despite this tumultuous time, the coin still maintains its value and historical significance, serving as a reminder of the complex history of the region.
