Comment
Copper Pattern Strike of KM#152Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Rial coin from the Beylik of Tunis is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts an Arabic inscription, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with a crescent moon and star, which was a common motif in European heraldry. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the Islamic world and Europe during the 19th century.
