Interesting fact
The 1 Batz coin from the Principality of Neuchâtel, which was minted between 1806 and 1810, features an image of Alexandre Berthier, a French general and statesman who played a significant role in the Napoleonic Wars. This coin was minted during the period when Neuchâtel was under French rule, and it's interesting to note that the coin's design was likely influenced by French coinage of the time.
