Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Muhammad VI, the Bey of Tunis, who ruled Tunisia from 1923 to 1928, while the reverse side features an intricate pattern of Arabesque art, which is a traditional form of Islamic art that involves geometric and floral motifs. This blend of styles reflects the cultural diversity of Tunisia during this time period, which was a French protectorate but also had a strong Islamic heritage.
