Tunisia AH 1357/1938 10 centimes
This type was struck in AH 1350,1352, and 1357 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: 1,200,000.
Specification: nickel-bronze, holed.
Catalog reference: KM 259.
