This type was struck in one year only in the name of Mohammed al-Amin Bey. By this point in Tunisian history, French rule had given way to Nazi occupation and then to Allied military rule. 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: 10,000,000.

Specification: Aluminum-bronze.

Catalog reference: KM 273.
