| Reverse description | The reverse features an aerial bird's-eye view of the ancient Punic port of Carthage (المناء البونيقي بقرطاج), rendered in fine detail showing the circular military harbour and the rectangular commercial harbour. The large numeral '2' dominates the right field, with the Arabic denomination 'دينارن' (Dinars) inscribed along the lower legend. The Arabic legend 'البنك المركزي التونسي' (Central Bank of Tunisia) arcs along the upper border in cursive script, framing the architectural motif. |

| Additional information |
Tunisia's 2-dinar denomination had long existed in a bimetallic format; the introduction of a nickel-plated steel magnetic variant in 2024 reflects a cost-reduction decision common among central banks navigating post-pandemic metals price volatility. The KM#510a designation confirms this as a catalogued variant of the parent type rather than a new issue.
