| Additional information |
Tunisia's Central Bank was established in 1958, shortly after independence from France, and the Gafsa branch carried particular symbolic weight — the city had been the site of a brief but violent cross-border raid by Libyan-backed insurgents in January 1980, an episode that destabilized the region and tested the young republic's institutions. That the 1988 commemorative series acknowledged the branch specifically reflects a deliberate political choice to emphasize institutional continuity in the southwest.
