Interesting fact

The 3 Pfennige coin from Waldeck-Pyrmont is notable for its unique design, which features a portrait of George Frederick Henry, the ruling prince of the principality from 1842 to 1845. The coin's design was created by the German engraver and medalist, Karl Friedrich Voigt, who was known for his work on various coins and medals throughout Europe during the 19th century. The coin's obverse side features the prince's portrait, surrounded by the inscription "GEORG FRIEDRICH HENRI" and the year of issue, "1842-1845". The reverse side of the coin features the coat of arms of Waldeck-Pyrmont, surrounded by the inscription "FÜRSTENTUM WALDECK-PYRMONT" and the denomination "3 PFENNIG". The coin was minted in copper and has a diameter of 22.5 mm. I hope you find this information interesting and helpful!
