Charles X bronze Specimen "Visit of Sidi Mahmoud of Tunisia to the Paris Mint" AH 1240 (1825) SP65 PCGS, Lec-Unl., Fayolle-38. 41mm. By M. Puymaurin. A very rare medal produced on the occasion of Sidi Mahmoud, the Bey of Tunis's, visit to the Paris mint on May 5, 1825, an opportunity for which he was reported to be most excited. This is the sole example we have been able to locate, and we note that this piece was notably missing from the Miller Collection of Tunisian Coins and Medals.
