| Obverse description | The obverse features a round central perforation surrounded by bold Arabic inscriptions filling the field in a traditional calligraphic style. The legend, arranged in multiple registers radiating around the central hole, reads the royal titulature of Muhammad al-Nasir Bey of Tunisia along with the denomination of 10 centimes and the Hijri date 1337. The entire design is enclosed within a distinctive scalloped or crenellated border typical of French Protectorate-era Tunisian coinage. There is no effigy; the design relies entirely on calligraphic lettering as its principal decorative and informational element. The composition and layout reflect the dual Arabic-French character of the protectorate's monetary issues. |
