| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bears a multi-line Arabic inscription within two flanking olive or palm branches, reading the name and title of the regent Muhammad al-Hadi, Bey of Tunisia, along with the denomination of 1 Franc and the Hijri date. The branches frame the legend symmetrically, converging at the base, while a fine beaded border encircles the entire design. The inscription is rendered in a clear, formal Naskh-style Arabic script. No effigy is present, reflecting the aniconic tradition of Tunisian coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck under the Husainid bey Muhammad IV al-Hadi, this issue dates from Tunisia's decades under French protectorate administration, established by the Bardo Treaty of 1881. The French retained the bey as nominal sovereign — a useful fiction that allowed colonial authorities to govern while maintaining the appearance of local dynastic continuity. Coinage was one of the few domains where that fiction was made tangible in metal.
Muhammad IV's reign lasted only from 1902 to 1906, making the production window for KM#231 unusually tight.
