Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Denier Tournois coin from the Duchy of the Archipelago is that it features an image of a Doge, which was a unique design choice for a coin during that time period. The Doge was the ruler of the Venetian Republic, and the inclusion of this image on the coin highlights the strong influence that the Venetians had over the Duchy of the Archipelago. This coin is a rare example of a coin that combines both the symbolism of the Venetian Republic and the Duchy of the Archipelago, making it a valuable piece for collectors and historians.
