Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Douzain coin is that it was minted during the reign of Henry II of France, who was known for his strong leadership and military conquests. Despite his successes, Henry II's reign was cut short when he died in a jousting tournament in 1559, and the Douzain coin serves as a reminder of his legacy.
