10 Kreuzers - Charles-Paris

Charles Paris d'Orléans, the illegitimate son of Henri II de Longueville, held Neuchâtel for only four years before dying without legitimate issue in 1671, triggering a succession dispute that would drag on for decades. His coinage is accordingly scarce. The 1668 date is the sole year recorded for this type, and surviving examples are predominantly found in cabinet condition — the principality's small population and limited commercial reach meant low circulation pressure.
