| Obverse description | Green letterpress note with an ornate guilloche border incorporating stylised columns at each side and a crescent-and-star device at the top centre. The denomination CINQUANTE CENTIMES is printed in large bold letters across the upper field, with bilingual Arabic and French text below giving the decree date and issuing authority; a central oval vignette contains the counterfeiting warning. Two manuscript signatures appear in the lower half, those of the Trésorier Général de Tunisie at left and the Directeur Général des Finances at right, with series and serial number printed in the respective corners. |
