Thomas De La Rue printed this series for Tunisia through the early 1980s, a period when the Banque Centrale was managing sustained pressure on the dinar following the 1970s oil shocks and a widening trade deficit. The print run of just over twelve million is relatively modest for a denomination that would have seen heavy daily use, which partly accounts for why worn examples dominate the market.
P#80 carries a security thread rather than the more advanced features De La Rue was introducing elsewhere at the time — a deliberate cost calculation, not an oversight.
