5 Dinars International Year of the Child, Piedfort

The International Year of the Child was declared by the UN General Assembly for 1979, not 1982 — Tunisia's piedfort issue arrived three years after the campaign it commemorates, a delay not unusual for piedfort editions, which are typically produced as collector pieces rather than timely commemoratives. Pieforts of this Tunisian series were struck at roughly twice the standard coin's thickness using the same dies.

KM#P2 confirms this as a pattern or piedfort classification rather than a circulation strike.
