This type was struck in AH 1325-1336 in the name of Muhammad al-Nasir 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. Starting in AH 1308/1891 AD, all coins began showing both Arabic and French legends, and the denominations became decimal-based. All minting during the French protectorate occurred in Paris (mint mark "A").

Recorded mintage: 500,000.

Specification: 10 g, bronze.

Catalog reference: KM 236.
