Interesting fact
The 8 Kharub coin from Tunisia, minted during the reign of Ali III (1300-1308) and made of silver, features a unique design element - a small crescent moon and star symbol located above the year of minting. This symbol is a nod to the Islamic faith, which was an important part of Tunisian culture and identity during that time period.
