Comment
Schneider 26, 27 (variation with miner's tools in front of mine entry)Interesting fact
The ¼ Stüber coin from the County of Wied-Neuwied (German States) was minted in 1750 during the reign of Frederick Alexander, and it features an image of the prince on one side and the coat of arms of the county on the other. What's interesting about this coin is that it was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at the time, but it was also a sign of the county's wealth and prosperity. The use of copper for coins was a symbol of the region's rich natural resources and its ability to produce high-quality goods.
