Essai of KM#262Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Francs - Ahmad II (Essai) 1353 (1935) from Tunisia is that it was minted during a time of significant political and social change in the country. The coin was issued in 1935, just a year after Tunisia gained its independence from France, and it features an image of the country's first president, Ahmad II, on one side and a depiction of a mosque on the other. This coin is a unique piece of Tunisian history and a symbol of the country's transition towards independence.
