Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Arabic and French influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin features an Arabic inscription, while the reverse side features a depiction of a Tunisian flag, which was a French protectorate at the time the coin was minted. This blend of cultures reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that has shaped Tunisia's identity.
