Interesting fact
The ¼ Thaler coin from the Principality of Neuchâtel, minted in 1713 during the reign of Frederick I, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbol of the principality, the coin bears an image of a palm tree, surrounded by the Latin inscription "Sola Nobilitas Virtus" ("Virtue Alone is Noble"). This design was meant to emphasize the importance of virtue and moral character, rather than wealth or power, as the true measure of a person's worth. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was designed to promote a moral message, rather than serve as a symbol of political power or prestige.
