Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Francs - Muhammad IV 1321-1324 (1903-1906) coin from Tunisia is that it was minted during a time of significant political and social change in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of Muhammad IV, who was the last ruler of the Husainid dynasty, which had ruled Tunisia since the 18th century. During his reign, Tunisia was facing growing pressure from European powers, particularly France, which had established a protectorate over the country in 1881. This coin was minted as part of an effort to modernize Tunisia's economy and strengthen its independence, but it was ultimately unable to prevent the country from being colonized by France in 1918. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable piece of Tunisian history and a symbol of the country's rich cultural heritage.
