Interesting fact

The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Principality of Neuchâtel, minted between 1807 and 1808, 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.
