Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of significant political and social change in Tunisia. The Beylik of Tunis, which was a medieval Islamic state, was facing challenges from European colonial powers, and the coin's issuance was likely a response to these changing political dynamics. The coin's design, which features the names of the rulers Abdulaziz and Muhammad III, as well as the year 1279-1286 (1863-1870) in the Islamic calendar, reflects the influence of Islamic culture and tradition on the coinage of the time. Additionally, the use of gold (.900) in the coin's minting was a symbol of the wealth and prosperity of the Beylik, and its weight of 19.68 grams made it a substantial and valuable coin in circulation.
