Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abdulhamid I, who was the first Bey of Tunisia to issue coins with his own name and title, rather than using the name of the Ottoman Sultan. This indicates that Tunisia was beginning to assert its independence from the Ottoman Empire during this time period.
