One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Francs - Ahmad II 1353 (1934) from Tunisia is that it was designed by the French engraver, Lucien Bazor. Bazor was a renowned artist who was known for his work on various coins and medals, including the French franc. His design for the Tunisian 10 francs coin features a portrait of Ahmad II, the Bey of Tunis, on one side, and an image of a palm tree and a crescent moon on the other. The coin's unique design and historical significance make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
