| Additional information |
Waldeck-Pyrmont was among the smallest of the German princely states, and its copper pfennig coinage from the 1750s served a purely local function — wages, market transactions, and church dues within a territory that never exceeded roughly 1,100 square kilometers. Charles August Frederick ruled from 1728 until his death in 1763, spending much of his reign navigating the financial strain of the Seven Years' War, which began in 1756 and put considerable pressure on even minor imperial states to maintain troop contributions and coinage supply.
