Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from County of Wied-Neuwied, minted in 1753 during the reign of Frederick Alexander, is notable for its unique design. The obverse side features an image of the prince, while the reverse side bears the coat of arms of the County of Wied-Neuwied, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. This design was a departure from the standard design used in other German states at the time, which typically featured a portrait of the ruling monarch on both sides of the coin. The use of a coat of arms on the reverse side was a distinctive feature of coins minted in the County of Wied-Neuwied during this period.
