This coin was minted during Tunisia’s period under French control, which lasted from 1881 to 1956. The use of dual inscriptions and dates reflects the blend of Tunisian and French influences in the region. In 1948, Tunisia was undergoing social and political changes that eventually led to its independence less than a decade later. Coins like this played a crucial role in the daily economy, serving as both a practical currency and a symbol of colonial governance.
