Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of significant political change in Tunisia. The Beylik of Tunis, which was a medieval Islamic state, was abolished in 1871 and replaced by a modernizing monarchy under Muhammad III. This coin, minted during Abdulaziz's reign (1871-1875), reflects the transition from an ancient to a modern state, with the use of modern minting techniques and materials like gold.
