| Additional information |
The 100-dinar denomination was reintroduced in bimetallic form as part of Algeria's broader effort to reduce reliance on banknotes for high-frequency transactions — a persistent problem in a cash-heavy economy where paper currency degrades rapidly in circulation. The shift to a coin of this value was administratively contentious; Algeria had previously discontinued the denomination before reversing course.
KM#141 spans a two-year production window across 2018–2019, though the Banque d'Algérie does not publish annual mintage figures, leaving exact production volumes unconfirmed.
