Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Mehmed IV, who was the last Ottoman Sultan to have any real authority, and his rule marked the beginning of the decline of the Ottoman Empire. Despite this, the coin still holds significant historical and numismatic value, and is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Tunisia and the Ottoman Empire.
