Tunisia's 1973 1 Dinar was issued during a period when the Banque Centrale de Tunisie was actively consolidating its post-independence note programme, and the continued reliance on Thomas De La Rue reflects a printing relationship that outlasted decolonisation by well over a decade. Offshore production of Tunisian currency drew periodic political criticism domestically through the mid-1970s, as the country pushed toward greater economic self-determination.
The watermark is the sole mechanical security feature — no security thread, no fluorescent elements. That simplicity made the series a known target for skilled counterfeiting in North Africa during the 1970s.
