| Obverse description | At left, a portrait vignette of Hannibal Barca (247–183 B.C.), the Carthaginian military general and statesman, anchors the composition, with an architectural rendering of the Phoenician (Punic) military harbour and the Port Punique at Carthage occupying the central and right fields. Arabic inscriptions identifying the issuing authority and denomination are set within an elaborate guilloche underprint. The design is executed in warm tonal registers with fine intaglio detail throughout. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette presents historic Phoenician sailing vessels rendered in a classical illustrative style, evoking Tunisia's ancient maritime heritage. A large numeral '7' references the coup d'état of 7 November 1987 and the ensuing era of national reconciliation and reform. Surrounding decorative elements draw on Tunisian historical, artistic, and economic motifs, with the issuing authority's name and denomination lettered in French within guilloche borders. |
