Comment
A total of 264'181 kreuzers were minted between December 30, 1713 and March 8, 1714.Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Principality of Neuchâtel, minted in 1713 during the reign of Frederick I, features a unique narrow shield design on the obverse (front) side. This shield design was used only during Frederick's reign and was replaced by a wider shield design in later years. This makes the coin a distinctive and rare collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of the Principality of Neuchâtel and its coinage.
