Interesting fact
The 1 Rial coin from Tunisia, minted in 1308 (1891) during the reign of Ali III, features a unique design element - the number "1" in the denomination "1 Rial" is written in the Arabic script, while the rest of the inscriptions are in the Latin alphabet. This blend of scripts is a reflection of the multicultural influences that have shaped Tunisia's history and identity.
