| Additional information |
Waldeck-Pyrmont's copper coinage of this period was produced under Frederick Charles August, who governed a territory so small and financially constrained that its independent mint output was sporadic at best. The 1809–1810 date range reflects a two-year window of production rather than continuous striking — output was dictated by immediate fiscal need rather than any regular minting schedule.
KM#27a distinguishes this from a related variety, the difference likely in the copper alloy source, which shifted during the Napoleonic period as metal supplies across the German states were disrupted by French requisitioning.
