| Obverse description | The obverse features an elaborate arabesque design composed of interlacing floral and foliate scrollwork filling the entire field, framed by a fine milled border. At the center, within the decorative surround, the Arabic legend 'البنك المركزي التونسي' (Central Bank of Tunisia) is inscribed in calligraphic script. Below the legend, the dual dates '2024' (Gregorian) and '1445' (Hijri) are displayed, separated by a dash, referencing the year of issue in both calendar systems. |

| Additional information |
Tunisia's switch to copper-plated steel for this denomination follows a broader North African trend of replacing solid copper-nickel flans with cheaper magnetic blanks — a purely fiscal decision driven by rising base metal costs. The "a" suffix in the KM number confirms this as a recognized compositional variant rather than a new type, the original non-magnetic version having circulated for years prior.
