Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features two different rulers on opposite sides. Abdulmecid I is depicted on one side, while Muhammad III is featured on the other. This unique design reflects the historical context of the time, when the Beylik of Tunis was under Ottoman rule and the two rulers were contemporaries.
