Tunisia 1983 5 millim rev DSLR.jpg

This specimen is from a type issued by Tunisia in 1960, 1983, 1993 and 1996. It is 1/200 of a dinar. The gap between the 1960 issue and the 1983 issue suggests that the regime ordered too many in 1960 and that 23 years were required to get them all into circulation.

Recorded mintage: unknown but very common.

Specification: 1.5 g, aluminum, 24 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 282.
