| Additional information |
Tunisia's 5 Franc pieces of this period were issued under the French Protectorate in its final years — the Bey of Tunis nominally on the throne while Paris retained administrative control. Independence arrived in March 1956, mid-way through this issue's production run, meaning coins struck in 1956 and 1957 belong to a transitional authority that had already lost its legal basis for the arrangement. The Protectorate coinage framework simply continued by inertia while the new state organized its own monetary system.
