Commentary
Ce type correspond à la 20 francs Turin fabriquée en métropole. Ce type est frappé de 1353 à 1358 de l’Hégire (1934 à 1939). Pour 1934, outre l’essai, 1.250.000 exemplaires furent frappés. Les autres millésimes ne le furent qu’à 53 exemplaires chacun et sont très rares.
Historical background
TUNISIA - FRENCH PROTECTORATE
(1881-1956)
The French protectorate of Tunisia was established by the Treaty of Bardo of May 12, 1881. The political, economic and social structures of the country were transformed and the monetary system was modeled on that of France with the adoption of identical modules. The protectorate was finally abolished on March 20, 1956 after negotiations constituting the culmination of the Tunisian national movement..
