The date 2000 is inscribed in Western numerals at the lower portion of the field beneath the tree. |

| Additional information |
Issued under the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization coin program, which ran from the late 1960s onward and enlisted central banks worldwide to mint small-denomination pieces carrying agricultural themes as a form of soft development messaging. Tunisia participated repeatedly across several decades. By 1999, the millim's purchasing power had eroded to near-nothing — a single US dollar bought roughly 1,200 millim — making this aluminium piece functionally symbolic long before it left the mint.
