Commentary
Curieusement, cet essai ne porte que la corne d’abondance et non pas l’aile de Bazor. Devrait-il être daté d’un inter-règne entre Patey et Bazor ? S’agit-il au contraire d’un essai non adopté des années 40, qui aurait été prévu en parallèle à la 10 centimes zinc (Lecompte 116) .
Curiously, this essay only bears the horn of plenty and not Bazor's wing. Should it be dated to an interregnum between Patey and Bazor? Or is it, on the contrary, an unadopted essay from the 1940s, which would have been planned in parallel with the 10 centimes zinc (Lecompte 116)?

Historical background
THIRD REPUBLIC - TUNISIA - FRENCH PROTECTORATE
After the First World War, the Destour was created in 1920 and revived the nationalist movement. The crisis of the 1930s and the political changes that occurred in France and in Europe favored the birth of new organizations of all kinds. Habib Bourguiba then took advantage of this dynamic to leave the party with a few comrades and found, on March 2, 1934, the Neo-Destour. The French authorities tried to contain any attempt to overthrow the established order by arresting the leaders of the Neo-Destour. Bourguiba was thus arrested in 1938. Tunisia followed the destiny of France. She takes racial laws from July 1940.
