Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of significant political change in Tunisia. The Beylik of Tunis, which was a medieval Islamic state, was undergoing a period of instability and transition, with various factions vying for power. This coin was minted during the reign of Abdulmecid I and Muhammad II, who were both prominent leaders of the time. Despite the political upheaval, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Tunisia.
