Interesting fact

The 5 Dinars coin from Tunisia, issued between 1983 and 1986, has a unique feature - it has a French inscription on one side, which reads "République Tunisienne" (Tunisian Republic). This is because Tunisia was a French protectorate from 1881 to 1956, and French was an official language in the country until 1956. The use of French on the coin reflects the country's history and cultural heritage.
