Obverse description Within a beaded border, the tughra-style Arabic inscription of Bey Ali III appears prominently in the center of the field, flanked on either side by an ornate olive wreath tied at the base with a decorative ribbon bow. The denomination '15 F' in Latin numerals and script is inscribed below the Arabic legend, integrating the dual-language value statement within the wreath. The overall design reflects the Ottoman-influenced aesthetic characteristic of late 19th-century Tunisian coinage, with the ruler's name rendered in bold calligraphic form.
