Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 6 Pfennigs coin from the Principality of Waldeck-Pyrmont is that it features an image of Charles August Frederick, the ruling prince of the principality from 1728 to 1763, on one side, and the coat of arms of the principality on the other. This coin was minted in 1730, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in German state coins from the 18th century.
