| Reverse description | The central vignette presents historic Phoenician sailing vessels rendered in a classical illustrative style, evoking Tunisia's ancient maritime heritage. A large numeral '7' references the coup d'état of 7 November 1987 and the ensuing era of national reconciliation and reform. Surrounding decorative elements draw on Tunisian historical, artistic, and economic motifs, with the issuing authority's name and denomination lettered in French within guilloche borders. |

Oberthur's Rennes facility has handled Tunisian currency contracts across multiple series, and this 2008 issue continues that long relationship. The print run of just over 12 million is relatively modest for a denomination that would have seen heavy everyday use — suggesting either tight budgetary controls or a supplemental issue printed to top up existing stock rather than replace a retiring series.
Pick 92 carries only a watermark as its listed security feature, which by 2008 standards was minimal. Whether additional features went uncatalogued or the note genuinely relied on paper quality and intaglio printing as its primary deterrents remains a point of debate among specialists.
