Interesting fact

The 3 Stübers coin from the County of Wied-Neuwied, minted between 1752 and 1754, features an image of Frederick Alexander, the ruling count of Wied-Neuwied at the time. The coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material that was commonly used for coins in the German States during that period. It's worth noting that the County of Wied-Neuwied was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and its coinage was minted in limited quantities. As a result, coins like the 3 Stübers piece are relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors today.
