Tunisia 1960 2 millim rev DSLR.jpg

This specimen is from a two year type issued by Tunisia in 1960. It is two-thousandths of a dinar and one may assume that inflation, a curse of underdeveloped countries, put short shrift to this coin's utility. The simple design and cheap metal used suggests that the issuing regime did not expect a long life for this coin.

Recorded mintage: unknown but very common.

Specification: 1 g, aluminum, 21 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 281.
