One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ahmed III, who was the last great ruler of the Hafsid dynasty, which ruled Tunisia from 1229 to 1574. During his reign, Ahmed III made significant reforms to the country's economy, military, and administration, which helped to strengthen the Beylik of Tunis and increase its prosperity.
