| Obverse description | Central field displays the royal title and name of Muhammad Al-Amin, Premier (First) Bey, rendered in ornate Arabic calligraphy within an elaborate floral and geometric cartouche. Flanking the central inscription are two symmetrical olive or laurel branches rising from the lower field, framing the design in a decorative arabesque style. The Hijri date 1376 appears in Arabic-Indic numerals at the base of the central cartouche. The circular legend around the periphery, also in Arabic script, reads the Kingdom of Tunisia and Muhammad Al-Amin Premier, separated by geometric ornamental devices. The overall design reflects the traditional Islamic decorative arts aesthetic characteristic of Tunisian coinage of the period. |
