Description
This stamp inaugurates a series dedicated to the numismatic heritage of Tunisia with the reproduction of a gold coin dating from the year 87 AH (706 AD), kept at the Raqqada Museum. Minted at the start of the Islamic era, this coin testifies to the integration of Tunisia (Ifriqiya) into the caliphate economy and the early adoption of Arabic calligraphy as a symbol of sovereignty. It underlines the historical role of the country as a center of power and monetary exchanges in the Mediterranean from the first centuries of Islam.
