so hello fellow coin collectors how you going this is Glenn today we're just
gonna have a look at some of the old when these young coins so as you know
from the videos that are actually post I actually like to collect a lot of
international or overseas products that not never circulated in Australia and
Tunisia is actually one of them actually a fine tune is in coinage and banknotes
actually quite interesting right now it's actually quite good but then Evan
but I'll get him sooner or later so today we're looking at the coins that we
issued during the Tunisian Frank so the first year of the Tunisian Frank coinage
was 1891 so a nice replace the rial and the Tunis in Rio just part of the
Ottoman Empire actual time but it was taken over by Frances Protectorate so
here I have a 10 cent EMS from 1891 and a down below just says Paris meet mark
and then you got the the mean symbol of the person who designed the coin and
engraved it and one floor the actual I'm not too sure might have been near mint
official it was actually there you've got Tunisia 10 centimeters so
these coins are actually pretty much not not that interesting cursor you just got
the French on one side and on the other side just got the Arabic and this
actually says during the reign of blah blah blah one of the regencies early I
believe this is during the reign of Ali at Tunis so they had the official the
Arabic official who was actually pretty much like a monarch so and later on he
actually turned into a monarch because it became the kingdom of Tunisia up into
bent on in 58 and down below we have the Arabic date so this is 1308 and that
corresponds with 1891 and then you have lead this is olive on
one side not too short this one is might be flak or something
like that but that's basically a pretty standard coin for the French
administration so I decided in 91 doesn't mean to drop 2.6 million now you
probably be paying probably between ten and fifteen dollars for something like
this in high grade we paying a lot more and then I got two other ones Oh another
thing these are actually the same size as the French coin each at the time
so French coins did circulate there and they were legal tender because they
change up one to one and after the Second World War and the French one two
and five francs actually circulated in Tunisia as well there were no one and
two francs after sick of my war so French coins just circulated its value
was the same anyway pretty much like the euro coins so you can get you know you
got French and Dutch euro coins these are legal tender in each other's
territory so deep French coins at the time legal tender into an easier this is
our 10 grams each is thirty point two millimeters so big coin and this one's
1911 only 500,000 minted pretty low but you're probably paying me twenty five
and ten dollars for a coin like this and you see that the inscription is pretty
much the same but just a different type of calligraphy so there that that's not
an error that's just a different type of design namely ever 1916 so I think
nineteen seventeen or eighteen was the last year in know I think 1918 actually
reduced it to a nickel brass coin so this was probably the last year of this
coin I can't remember off in memory so 1916 have 1 million minted this is a
higher grade this one you probably paying at least 30
to 40 dollars for it's not really that circulated I would say probably
extremely fine condition or high grade very fine too low break extremely fine
depending on what Sheldon number you would actually give it so then in the
1920s they actually reduced the size and they actually change the methyl
composition of one tune if you'd sent one Frank and two francs from silver to
is aluminium-bronze so that's in line with the French
cleaners which I suffered a high devaluation of course of the First World
War so here we have our 50 cent Emir's as
you can see that's the same thing this just saves the same thing as these coins
here just the rain name and all that stuff and on the back we just have the
French turn easier as well this is 1933 so 1953 is pretty low for
this I mean coins are 500,000 it's actually the lowest of the 50 cent EMS
this coin you even know it's of like minty just really not worth much
probably under $5 so it's saying all these coins are under $5 probably three
to four dollars I would say you can buy my son m4 here's the one franc 1945 an
immediate over over 10-million near sir - Frank's 9:45 at six and a half million
minted so Evernote today by today's standards these are actually low their
values actually not too high it has to be at least under five hundred thousand
for exactly really increasing v closer to the hundred thousand and less mark
and then we have od5 francs so this is the largest coin actually issued when
you type 946 they should say Protectorate French ace
Nazihah and on the back we just have the same pretty much inscriptions got the
value who we shouldn't at Tumnus and the date down below this one's a nickel
brass coin ten million off a minted so really you be buying this coin for
probably five to ten dollars in this grade but if you want uncirculated well
you're gonna fork out probably close to a hundred dollars for that and it says
Mohammed al-ameen mood that they often easier surveys like a just a region or a
governor of Tunisia he actually took over being the actual king of Tunis and
then I actually changed in 1954 to a copper nickel coin and this is similar
to the 2015 and a hundred francs actually issued in 1950 they didn't
issue a ten francs so they would have used French coins for that and as you
can see there it's got the coat of arms of Tunis got the the Christian and the
Arabic dates or the Islamic dates and also just pretty much says just this
kingdom of Tunisian and the designer of this coin is actually Lucien George's
Bazar so it's actually nice small coin he saw one in uncirculated condition is
probably ten dollars has a minty Joe of about mmm ten million
now this one's four million 1957 1954 it's about ten million so that's just
off my head about our Deen actually write them into he gets down for that
and this one's pretty much uncirculated so they don't really go for high values
and in 1958 actually reform the currency and issued D Deena
so this is the Deena this one is from 1976
so it's quite a common coin but the first that's pretty much one of the
first in a coins in circulation it was 1,000 francs equals one dinner so five
francs equals fifty millimeters so this is Miller my senior sons dated 993 I'll
make another video on these coins because this is one more favorite coin
series and it's actually quite nice so these coins were not issued to 1960 so
they should have Bank 9 to 9 and 58 but the coins 1960 so between nine and fifty
eight nine and sixty would have been one dinner banknote equaled one person
francs so it's a little bit the same as Morocco which delayed issuing their sent
him as coins for a few years while though he's still used frança coins
so anyway I hope this helps you out with that Keynesian coins actually nice
serious actually get and oh this video it's going on a bit long so you'd give
the thumbs up subscribe to my channel have an awesome coin collecting time
