Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mahmud II, who was the first Bey of Tunis to issue coins with his own name and title, rather than using the name of the Ottoman Sultan. This indicates a growing sense of independence and self-governance in the Beylik of Tunis during this time period.
