Interesting fact
The 12 Kreuzers coin from the County of Wied-Neuwied (German States) was minted during the reign of Frederick Alexander (1754-1757) and features an image of the prince on one side and the coat of arms of the county on the other. What makes this coin particularly interesting is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, as the Seven Years' War (1756-1763) was taking place, which had a significant impact on the economy and trade of many European countries, including the German States. Despite this, the coin still maintains its value and historical significance, making it a valuable addition to any coin collection.
