| Aanvullende informatie |
Mary of Nemours acquired the Principality of Neuchâtel in 1694 following a protracted succession dispute, and these pistoles were among the first gold issues struck under her authority — a direct assertion of sovereign coinage rights at the moment her claim was still being consolidated. The Duchy had passed through several hands across the seventeenth century, and the speed with which a gold emission followed her accession reflects how central the minting prerogative was to legitimizing rule in this corner of the Swiss Confederation.
Her reign lasted until 1707, when Neuchâtel's succession triggered another crisis resolved ultimately in favor of the King of Prussia.
