Comment
Silver-bronze Essai of KM#251a; (written as KM#251 instead in Krause - which is wrong)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Francs - Muhammad VI (Essai) 1347 (1928) from Tunisia is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of Muhammad VI, the Bey of Tunis, wearing a fez and a cloak, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of an olive branch and a crescent moon, which are symbols of peace and Islamic culture. This blend of styles reflects the cultural influences of Tunisia's history as a crossroads of civilizations.
