| Aanvullende informatie |
Ahmad II ibn Muhammad ruled as Bey of Tunis under the French Protectorate, and these silver 20-franc pieces were struck during a period when France was actively managing Tunisian monetary affairs through Paris. The .680 fineness is notably lower than the .835 standard France maintained for its own contemporary silver coinage — a deliberate distinction that kept Tunisian issues nominally separate from the metropolitan monetary system while still tying them to the franc zone.
Two Lecompte reference numbers — Lec#358 and Lec#362 — suggest distinct die varieties or edge treatments within the type, a detail worth investigating before attributing any individual piece.
