| Additional information |
Tunisia's 25th Republic anniversary coins were issued across a multi-year window — 1983 through 1986 — which is unusual for a commemorative and likely reflects phased distribution through diplomatic and collector channels rather than a single release event. The .900 fineness follows French monetary tradition, a direct inheritance from the protectorate period that Tunisian minting practice retained well into the independence era.
KM#335 is the Arabic-legend variant, struck as a companion to a French-legend counterpart — a bilingual pairing that was deliberate policy for Tunisian commemoratives of this period, reflecting the country's dual administrative and cultural identity under Bourguiba.
