Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Centimes - Ali III 1308-1320 (1891-1902) coin from Tunisia is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of Ali III, the last ruling Bey of Tunisia, wearing a turban and a beard, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a palm tree, a common motif in Islamic art, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, a nod to European coinage design. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Tunisia and Europe during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
