| Aanvullende informatie |
This coin was struck under the dual-sovereignty arrangement that defined Ottoman Tunisia in the mid-nineteenth century — the Husainid beys governed domestically while nominally acknowledging the sultan in Constantinople, a fiction both parties found convenient. The pairing of Abdülmecid I with Muhammad II (Muhammad Bey) on a single issue reflects the bey's careful diplomatic positioning during a period when he was simultaneously seeking greater autonomy and avoiding outright confrontation with the Porte.
Muhammad Bey promulgated Tunisia's Fundamental Pact in 1857 and its constitution in 1861, making Tunisia one of the first states in the Arab world to adopt a written constitution. This gold issue falls squarely within that reformist window.
