| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned quartered arms of Neuchâtel and Valangin surmounted by a royal crown with elaborate ornamentation. The shield is divided into four quarters bearing the heraldic devices of the principality, with the eagle of Valangin prominent in the lower central quarter. A circular Latin legend surrounds the arms, reading from upper right and continuing around the periphery, identifying Frederick William III as King of Prussia and sovereign of Neuchâtel and Valangin. The design is executed in a crisp, classical engraving style consistent with early nineteenth-century German minting practice. |

| Reverse description | A bold ornamental cross with floriated terminals occupies the central field, dividing it into four quarters each filled with decorative foliate or floral motifs. The date 1803 appears in the upper segment of the surrounding circular legend, with the Latin motto SUUM CUIQUE (meaning 'To each his own') distributed around the periphery, punctuated by small rosette stops. The denomination CR · 1 is inscribed at the base below the cross, indicating one Kreuzer. The overall composition is symmetrical and heraldic in character, reflecting the formal coinage style of the Prussian administration of Neuchâtel. |
