    On this installment of our tour we'll be remaining in North Africa and visiting Tunisia. France established a protectorate in Tunisia in 1881, which lasted until 1956. Tunisian coins were produced with greater frequency and variety than most of the other countries I've covered up to this point so I don't have examples of them all, but I will share what I do have. Feel free to share yours!

    If you missed the earlier entries in the series, they are: Equatorial Africa, Madagascar, French Indochina, West Africa and Togo, and Morocco.

    First up are some 5 and 10 centimes. 1916 tunisia 10 centimes.jpg 1917 tunisia 5 centimes.jpg 1918 tunisia 5 centimes.jpg 1919 tunisia 10 centimes.jpg 1942 tunisia 10 centimes.jpg
