Lot of 6 coins: different denominations, Ae, all f-vf, all with c/m
a. 13 asper 127(x)ah (c/m "2") KM 116.1 vf/- thin legend

In late summer 1274ah (1858ce) all copper coins in Tunis were devalued by 50% and were counterstamped accordingly. The last coin in the above lot is especially noteworthy because it was counterstamped on both sides, possibly indicating two successive devaluations.
