Description
This visual presents a gold coin minted in Tunis in the year 1181 AH (1767 AD), now on display at the Bardo Museum. Coming from the Beylical era, this currency illustrates the economic stability and relative autonomy of the Regency of Tunis under the Husseinite dynasty. The calligraphic inscriptions reflect the official art of the time and the importance of the monetary institution in the affirmation of Tunisian national identity before the modern era.
