This type was struck in AH 1308-1310 in the name of Muhammad al-Sadiq Bey. By this point in Tunisian history, the Ottomans had lost influence and France had gained control through debt ownership, making the Tunisia a protectorate. Starting in AH 1309/1892 AD, all coins began showing both Arabic and French legends, and the denominations were decriminalized. All minting during the French protectorate period occurred in Paris (A mint mark).
