Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Alex d'Or coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763). Despite the conflict, the coin's minting was a testament to the County of Wied-Neuwied's (German States) economic and political stability during that period.
