Comment
Previously KM#M6Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Francs - Muhammad VIII 1376 (1956) coin from Tunisia is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of Muhammad VIII, the last Bey of Tunis, while the reverse side features an image of a crescent moon and a five-pointed star, which are common symbols of Islam. However, the coin's design also incorporates elements of European heraldry, such as the shield and crown, which were used in the coat of arms of the Husainid dynasty, which ruled Tunisia from 1705 to 1956. This blending of design elements reflects the rich cultural history of Tunisia and its blending of Islamic and European influences.
