Oberthur's Rennes facility has printed Tunisian currency for decades, and this 2013 issue arrived two years after the fall of Ben Ali — a government that had tightly controlled the central bank's operations and monetary messaging for over two decades. The new administration retained the same printer and broadly similar design conventions, a pragmatic choice during a politically unstable transition period when disrupting currency infrastructure carried real risk.
The print run of just over 12 million is modest for a mid-denomination note in active circulation, suggesting a supplementary issue rather than a primary release replacing worn stock.
