Comment

Wied-Runkel was a small German sovereign state. Wied-Runkel was located around the town and castle of Runkel, located on the Lahn River. It extended from the town of Runkel to further north of Schupbach, but also held an exclave east of Villmar.

Wied-Runkel was a partition of Wied, and was raised from a County to a Principality in 1791. Wied-Runkel was mediatised to Nassau.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Stüber coin from the County of Wied-Runkel is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letter "W" in the center, which represents the County of Wied-Runkel. This shield is placed above the coat of arms of the ruling family, the House of Wied, and is a distinctive feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of the time.
