This coin was minted in 1730, and it's interesting to note that the coin's design was influenced by the Baroque style, which was popular during that era. The coin's obverse features a detailed portrait of Charles August Frederick, while the reverse features the coat of arms of Waldeck-Pyrmont. Overall, this coin is a great example of the rich history and cultural heritage of the German States during the 18th century.
