Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abdulmecid I, who was the first Bey of Tunis, and its design features an Arabic inscription that reads "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." This inscription reflects the Islamic heritage and culture of Tunisia during that time period.
