| Opschrift voorzijde | MXI 835 novum castellum (Translation: 1011. New castle.) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents an entirely abstract composition in low relief, depicting stylised radiating rays evoking sunlight, a series of concentric curved lines suggesting the movement of water, and sweeping fluid forms representing seagulls in flight. The design fills the entire field in a dynamic, swirling arrangement centred toward the right. The date 2011 is inscribed within the field to the upper right, serving as the sole legible element amid the otherwise non-figurative imagery. The design is executed in a modern artistic idiom, contrasting markedly with the historicist iconography of the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Neuchâtel's founding date of 1011 rests on a single documentary source — a deed in which King Rudolf III of Burgundy donated the settlement to his wife Irmengard, describing it as a "new castle," the name that stuck. The millennium commemoration in 2011 was as much about that document's survival as the city itself.
