Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features an Arabic inscription with the name of the ruler, Abdulaziz, and the year of minting, while the reverse side features a depiction of a crescent moon and a five-pointed star, which are common symbols of Islam, surrounded by a wreath inspired by European heraldic traditions. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influences that occurred during the period of Tunisian history when the coin was minted.
