Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1790 1 Kreuzer coin from the Principality of Neuchâtel is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in Europe. The French Revolution, which began in 1789, had a significant impact on the region and led to the eventual overthrow of the monarchy and the establishment of a new government. Despite this turmoil, the coin still bears the image of Frederick William II, the King of Prussia, highlighting the complex political relationships and alliances that existed during this time period.
