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 between 1963 and 1966, during the reign of President Habib Bourguiba, who led the country's transition from a colonial state to an independent republic. This period saw significant modernization and reform efforts, including the adoption of a new constitution and the establishment of a modern banking system. The coin's design, featuring an Arabic legend and lacking flags, reflects the country's shift towards a more Arabic and Islamic identity during this time.
