Interesting fact
The 1 Centime coin was part of a larger coinage reform implemented by the government of Tunisia in 1891, which aimed to modernize the country's currency and align it with European standards. The coin features a portrait of Ali III, the reigning Bey of Tunis at the time, and was designed by the French engraver, Ernest-Eugène Hiolle. The use of bronze in the coin's composition was a deliberate choice to make it more durable and resistant to wear and tear, given the high circulation and usage of coins in the country.
