| Obverse lettering | REPUBLIQUE TUNISIENNE 5 CINQ DINARS (Translation: The Tunisian Republic 5 Dinars) |
| Reverse description | A stylised ancient sailing vessel rendered in outline occupies the centre of the field, its mast topped by a circular cartouche bearing a decorative device. The numeral 50 appears prominently within a circle at the hull of the ship, symbolising the jubilee anniversary. A ring of eight small stars encircles the central design at mid-field. The commemorative legend CINQUANTIEME ANNIVERSAIRE DE LA REPUBLIQUE arcs around the upper periphery, while the dual date 2007 and Hijri year 1428 flank a central star along the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Tunisia's declaration of independence came on March 20, 1956, ending 75 years of French protectorate rule — making 2007 the precise half-century mark this piece commemorates. The French-legend variant exists alongside an Arabic-legend counterpart, a bilingual production practice the Banque Centrale de Tunisie has maintained on commemorative issues to address both domestic and diaspora markets, particularly the substantial Tunisian communities in France and Belgium.
