This type was struck in AH 1325-1340 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 period occurred in Paris (A mint mark).

Recorded mintage: 804,000.

Specification: 5 g, 0.835 silver, 0.1342 ASW.

Catalog reference: KM 238.
