Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features an Arabic inscription with the name of the ruler, Abdulaziz, and the year of minting, 1281, while the reverse side features a depiction of a crescent moon and a five-pointed star, which are common symbols of Islamic culture. However, the coin's design also incorporates elements of European heraldry, such as the shield and crown, reflecting the influence of European powers on the Beylik of Tunis during this time period. This blend of cultural influences makes the coin a fascinating example of the diverse cultural exchange that occurred in the region during the 19th century.
