Tunisia Coin List
The official currency of Tunisia is the Tunisian Dinar, which is divided into 1000 millimes. This currency has been an integral part of the Tunisian economy since its introduction in 1960, shortly after the country's independence. Tunisian numismatics reflects a rich history dating back to ancient times, with influences from various civilizations that have left their mark on the region.
Monetary history of Tunisia
Before the adoption of the Tunisian dinar, the country used the Tunisian franc, introduced during the French protectorate. However, Tunisia's numismatic history is much older, with evidence of coinage dating back to Phoenician and Carthaginian times. During the Roman period, the region produced coins with unique designs that reflected the local culture. Later, under Arab and Ottoman rule, new monetary forms were introduced that laid the foundation for the modern system.
Numismatic milestones
One of the most significant milestones in Tunisian numismatics was the introduction of the dinar in 1960, which marked the country's economic independence. Since then, Tunisia has issued several series of commemorative coins, highlighting important historical and cultural events. A notable example is the series of coins issued in 1970 to commemorate the millennium of the founding of Kairouan, a holy city of Islam. In addition, in 2005, the Central Bank of Tunisia introduced a new series of coins with modernized designs, reflecting the country's progress and national identity.
