Tunisia's first post-independence central bank notes were a decade in the making by 1965 — the Banque Centrale had only been established in 1958, replacing the short-lived Institut d'Émission. De La Rue handled the printing of this series throughout, a common arrangement for newly independent francophone African states that lacked domestic intaglio facilities.

Hédi Nouira's signature here is worth noting: he was serving as Governor of the Banque Centrale at the time, and would later become Prime Minister under Bourguiba from 1970 to 1980. His tenure at the bank shaped Tunisia's early monetary policy during a period of significant structural reform.
