Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "Abdulmecid I" in Arabic, while the reverse side features a depiction of a crescent moon and a five-pointed star, which are common symbols of Islam, surrounded by a wreath inspired by European heraldic traditions. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the Beylik of Tunis's history.
