Interesting fact

The Pattern 40 Dinars coin was designed by the French engraver and sculptor, Albert Decaris, who was also responsible for designing many other coins and stamps for various countries. Decaris' design for the Pattern 40 Dinars coin features a portrait of Habib Bourguiba, the first president of Tunisia, on the obverse, and a depiction of the Tunisian republic's emblem on the reverse. The coin's unique design and limited mintage make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
