10 Dinars Independence 50th Anniversary, Arabic legend

Tunisia declared independence from France on March 20, 1956, making 2006 the fiftieth anniversary the Central Bank chose to commemorate with this issue. Gold commemoratives from Tunisia are produced in relatively modest quantities and rarely see active circulation, meaning surviving examples are almost invariably in the condition they left the mint. KM#474 is one of several parallel issues struck for this anniversary, with companion pieces varying in metal and denomination — the Arabic legend designation distinguishes this from its French-legend counterpart struck for the same occasion.
