Comment
Essai of X#3Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 100 Francs - Ahmad II (Gold Essai) 1357 (1938) from Tunisia made of Gold is that it was designed by the French sculptor and engraver, Lucien Bazor. Bazor was known for his work on various coins and medals, and his design for this coin features a portrait of Ahmad II, the Bey of Tunis, on one side, and a depiction of a palm tree and a crescent moon on the other. The coin was minted in 1938 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. It is made of gold and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
