10 Dinars Central Bank 50th Anniversary, Jendouba Branch

The Banque Centrale de Tunisie was established in 1958, the year after independence, replacing the franc-zone institutions that had managed Tunisian monetary affairs under French authority. Its 50th anniversary in 2008 prompted a regional commemorative program, with individual issues honoring branch offices — Jendouba among them — a northwestern governorate whose agricultural economy, centered on the Majarda River valley, made it historically significant to the central bank's rural credit operations.
