Comment
Unsure if there exists a visual difference between KM#129 and #130Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of significant political and social change in Tunisia. The Beylik of Tunis, which was a medieval Islamic state that lasted from the 12th to the 16th century, was in power when this coin was minted. This coin was minted during the reign of Abdulmecid I and Muhammad II, who were both prominent leaders of the Beylik. The coin's minting was likely a significant event during this time period, as it would have been used for trade and commerce within the region.
