Description
This stamp highlights a coin from the 10th century, illustrating the numismatic wealth and economic power of Tunisia during the Fatimid or Zirid periods. At this time, cities like Mahdia or Kairouan were nerve centers of Mediterranean trade, and the minting of coins with such precision reflects the high degree of sophistication of the administration and craftsmanship of the time. By integrating this historical vestige into its philately, the Republic pays homage to its flamboyant medieval past and its role as a major financial crossroads between the East and the West.
