| Reverse description | Three-line inscription in the central field denoting the denomination and date, reading I / STVBER / 1752, flanked on either side by fleur-de-lis or star ornaments serving as decorative stops. A small floral or cross ornament appears above and below the legend, framing the inscription within the plain field. The design is characteristic of the simple typographic style employed for small-denomination billon coinage in the German states during the mid-18th century. |

| Additional information |
Frederick Alexander ruled Wied-Neuwied for less than a decade before the line's comital finances collapsed under accumulated debt. Billon issues of this type — struck for a territory of negligible political weight in the fragmented Rhenish system — circulated primarily in local markets and toll transactions, rarely travelling far enough to accumulate meaningful wear. KM#18 is among the more obscure entries in the Wied coinage sequence, with surviving examples thin on the ground in any condition.
