<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 3109861, member: 39&quot;]Aha, two eagles again. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; This time it is the Prussian eagle holding Waldeck&#039;s CoA, and the German eagle on the other side. Waldeck had (since 1867, so even before the Deutsches Reich was founded) an accession treaty with Prussia, and thus limited sovereignty only. In 1926 Prussia canceled the treaty, Waldeck did not have the funds to be a state of its own, so it was annexed in 1929. (Pyrmont had already been &quot;split off&quot; before.) Today the territory is part of Waldeck-Frankenberg county in the state of Hesse.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Constitution coin I like because of the repeated design elements such as the circular and horizontal lines. Would have preferred an eagle instead of the Hindenburg portrait though. Next year, by the way, a German €20 collector coin will be issued that commemorates the centennial.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
