Interesting fact
The coin features an image of Frederick Charles August, the ruling prince of Waldeck-Pyrmont at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the principality on the other. The coat of arms includes the motto "Fürstliche Gerechtigkeit" which translates to "Princely Justice" in English. This motto reflects the importance of justice and fairness in the principality's governance and highlights the ruler's commitment to upholding these values.
