200 Millimes

Tunisia's 200 millimes denomination was reintroduced as part of a broader coinage reform following the 2011 revolution that ousted Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, with the Banque Centrale de Tunisie tasked with issuing currency that no longer carried the deposed president's portrait. The date range of this type spans a politically turbulent decade, during which Tunisia navigated multiple governments and a new constitution ratified in January 2014.

Bronze coinage of this weight tends to accumulate wear quickly in active circulation, and Tunisia's informal economy kept low-denomination coins moving constantly through street markets and transit systems.
