Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Henry IV, who was the Count of Waldeck from 1305 to 1344. During his rule, he introduced a new coinage system, which included the Denier, a silver coin that was widely used in trade and commerce. The coin weighs 0.72 grams and is made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. Despite its small size, the coin played an important role in the economy of the County of Waldeck and surrounding regions.
