Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in Tunisia. The Beylik of Tunis, which was a medieval Islamic state, was facing challenges from European powers and internal strife, which led to the eventual overthrow of the ruling dynasty in 1876. Despite these challenges, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with intricate designs and calligraphy that reflect the rich cultural heritage of Tunisia.
