Interesting fact
The 3 Kreuzers coin from the County of Wied-Neuwied, minted during the reign of Frederick Alexander (1749-1751), features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the typical coat of arms or other symbol of the county, the coin bears an image of a stork, which was a symbol of good luck and fertility in German culture. This unique design choice was likely intended to convey the county's commitment to prosperity and growth.
