½ Stüber - Fredrick Alexander

The ½ Stüber coin from the County of Wied-Neuwied, minted in 1752 during the reign of Frederick Alexander, is a rare and valuable coin among collectors. It's made of silver, which was a common material for coins during that time period. However, what makes this coin particularly interesting is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual coat of arms or other symbols, the ½ Stüber coin features a depiction of a beehive, which was a symbol of industry and hard work in the region. This design was specifically chosen by Frederick Alexander to promote the idea of diligence and productivity among his subjects. Today, this coin is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch high prices at auctions.
