| Additional information |
The Central Bank of Tunisia was established in 1958, shortly after independence from France, taking over monetary functions that had been managed by the Banque de France and its colonial successor institutions. This 1998 piece marks the fortieth anniversary of the Sfax branch specifically — an unusual distinction, since commemorative issues of this kind typically honor the central institution rather than a regional office. Sfax, Tunisia's second city and historic center of the olive oil and phosphate trades, warranted its own branch from nearly the founding moment.
