| Additional information |
Ali III ruled the Beylik of Tunis as bey under French protectorate from 1882 until his death in 1902, a period during which France exercised direct control over Tunisian monetary policy. These gold francs were struck at Paris to French monetary union specifications — the Beylik's nominal monetary authority was largely ceremonial by this point, with the Bardo Treaty of 1881 having effectively transferred fiscal and administrative control to the French Resident-General.
The series ran across eleven years but individual annual mintages were modest, making certain dates within the 1891–1902 span considerably scarcer than others.
