Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mustafa III, who was the last Bey of Tunis to exercise any real power. He ruled from 1758 to 1773, and during his reign, he attempted to modernize and strengthen the Tunisian economy and military. Despite his efforts, the Beylik of Tunis was eventually annexed by the Ottoman Empire in 1773, and Mustafa III was deposed. This coin, which features Mustafa III's name and title, is a tangible reminder of his reign and the history of the Beylik of Tunis.
