Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of significant political change in Tunisia. The coin was issued in 1963, just a year after the country gained independence from France, and the design of the coin reflects this newfound independence. The lack of flags on the coin is a deliberate choice, as the country was eager to establish its own identity and break away from its colonial past. Additionally, the use of Arabic script on the coin highlights the importance of Islamic culture and tradition in Tunisian society. Overall, this coin serves as a symbol of Tunisia's transition towards independence and self-determination.
