Comment
Note: Assumed letteringInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "Murad V" in Arabic, while the reverse side features an image of Muhammad III, indicating the dual leadership of the Beylik of Tunis during that time. Additionally, the coin's silver content and weight of 12.80 grams make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
