Commentary
Notons que cet exemplaire est en frappe médaille et semble correspondre précisément à la description du Lecompte mais il est difficile d’apprécier la différence entre le bronze-aluminium et le laiton. Sachant que l’axe de frappe n’est pas indiqué pour l’épreuve en bronze-aluminium, il n’est pas exclu qu’il s’agisse du Lecompte 289.

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..
