Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Douzain coin from Comtat Venaissin (Papal States) is that it features an image of Pope Alexander VI, who was known for his controversial and corrupt papacy. He was accused of various immoral acts, including adultery, incest, and murder, and his reign was marked by political intrigue and scandal. Despite this, he was still revered as the head of the Catholic Church and his image was featured on coins like the 1 Douzain.
