Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Kreuzers - Frederick William III 1798 coin from the Principality of Neuchâtel is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick William III, who was the King of Prussia from 1797 until his death in 1840. This was a period of significant upheaval, as the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars were taking place, leading to the redrawing of the political map of Europe and the rise of new nationalist movements. Despite these challenges, the Principality of Neuchâtel was able to maintain its independence and issue its own coins, such as the 4 Kreuzers - Frederick William III 1798, which is a testament to the region's resilience and determination.
