| Additional information |
The International Year of the Child was declared by the United Nations for 1979, not 1982 — Tunisia's commemorative arrived three years after the fact, part of a broader regional pattern of delayed official responses to UN thematics that were nonetheless popular with collector markets. The Banque Centrale de Tunisie issued several silver commemoratives through this period targeting precisely that audience, with domestic circulation playing little role in the calculus.
