Waldeck-Pyrmont? But the earliest date I can find in the book is 1773.

 

Sorry, I hit it twice. Here is a link: https://www.ma-shops.nl/shops/searc...yrmont+1+Pfennig+(Pfenning)+1795+PS+Kursmünze

 

I'm thinking the Principality of Waldeck. The monogram on the reverse likely belongs to this guy.

Edit: Found this coin on numista, it looks remarkably similar to what you have posted. Moreover, the date on your coin @Hiddendragon appears to be damaged, so I believe this is what you have.

Yes, Waldeck seems to be a winner. Thanks!

 

Says "WALDECK" in the legend.

 

It does but I Googled it and didn't see anything like what I had. Also I've never heard of Waldeck.

 

The SCWC missed the Waldeck coins of Friedrich 1763-1812 which is strange since it is in Craig as C-42a and also in Schoen as number 36. It is a 1 pfennig Scheide Muntz

 

I initially thought that it was a 1725, but then saw that the "9" was dinged, so it was an 1795. It's right there in the link that I gave you all above ... many dates, including the 1795 plus the asking prices.
