Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features two different rulers, Abdulmecid I and Muhammad III, who ruled the Beylik of Tunis (present-day Tunisia) during a time of political instability in the region. This coin was minted during their joint reign in 1276-1277 (1860-1861), which was a rare occurrence in the history of the Beylik.
