This type was struck in AH 1353 and 1355 in the name of Ahmad Pasha 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 (privy mark).

Recorded mintage: 2,000,000.

Specification: 5g, 0.680 silver, 0.1093 ASW.

Catalog reference: KM 261.
