This type was struck in AH 1300-1308 in the name of Ali Bey. By this point in Tunisian history, the Ottomans had lost influence and France had gained control through debt ownership, making the Tunisia a protectorate. From 1881-1902 AD, coins were struck in the name of the Tunisian Bey. In 1891 the old denomination system was abandoned and the decimal system used.

Recorded mintage: unknown.
