This specimen was lot 3371 in Sincona sale 91 (Zürich, May 2024), where it sold for 475 CHF (about US$638 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"SCHWEIZ Neuenburg/Neuchâtel, Heinrich II. von Orléans-Longueville, 1595-1663. Kreuzer 1619, Neuchâtel. Sehr selten. Gutes schön. (Switzerland, principality of Neuchâtel, Henry II of Orléans-Longueville, 1595-1663, kreuzer of 1619, Neuchâtel mint. Very rare, Good fine.)"
While the principality of Neuchâtel was long associated with the Swiss Confederation, it was under seigneurial rule rather than oligarchic rule as in the other cantons. French aristocrats ruled until Marie de Nemours's death in 1707. This kreuzer was struck in this style 1595-1601 and 1610-1619. The reverse motto, "OCVLI ᛭ DO[MINUS] ᛭ SVP[ER] ᛭ IVSTOS ⚜", translates as The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous (Psalms 34:15). One écu = 84 kreuzer.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
