Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Tunisia. The country was experiencing political instability and conflict, which led to the overthrow of the ruling dynasty and the establishment of a new government. Despite this, the coin still bears the name of the deposed ruler, Abdulhamid II, and his son Muhammad III, indicating the complex political dynamics at play during this time.
