Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Burgraviate of Friedberg, which was issued during the reign of Hans Eitel Diede zum Fürstenstein from 1679 to 1684, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbol of the issuing authority, the coin bears an image of a large tree, surrounded by the inscription "Sapientia et Justitia" (Wisdom and Justice). This design was meant to symbolize the importance of wisdom and justice in governance, and it sets the coin apart from other coins of the time.
