Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Duchy of Neuchâtel, featuring Henri I with vine leaves, was minted in 1590 and made of Billon, a type of alloy that contains a small amount of precious metal, typically silver or gold. Despite its relatively low value, this coin is a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and the limited number of coins minted.
