| Beschrijving keerzijde | A per pale shield combining the arms of Orléans-Longueville (on dexter) and Neuchâtel (on sinister), surmounted by a rounded sovereign's crown. The shield is flanked by fleur-de-lis fleurons in the field, and the date 1631 appears within the circumferential Latin legend. The legend is separated from the central device by an inner beaded border, with the entire composition enclosed within the same beaded outer rim as the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Henri II of Orléans-Longueville became ruler of Neuchâtel in 1595 and governed the small Alpine principality for over half a century, but his teston coinage was struck relatively late in that tenure. The 1631 date places this piece squarely within the Thirty Years' War, during which Neuchâtel's position as a nominally sovereign francophone principality under French cultural orbit made its coinage politically significant beyond its modest size.
The Froidevaux reference T24 indicates this as a documented variety within a small series — Neuchâtel's output was never prolific, and surviving testons from Henri II's reign appear infrequently in Swiss regional auction records.
