Description
The Tunisian dinar is the official currency of Tunisia since 1960, after being established as an accounting unit in 1958 and replaced the franc. The same year, the Central Bank of Tunisia issued banknote in denominations of 1⁄2, 1 and 5 dinars, followed by 10 dinars in 1969 and 20 dinars in 1980. The 30 and 50 dinars note were introduced between 1997 and 2008. After the Ben Ali Regime fall, a new series of banknotes was announced in denominations of 5, 10, 20, and 50 dinars and was introduced progressively between 2011 to 2020. All notes issued before 2011 were demonetized in 2019.

The reverse note side illustrates Berbers ethnic group pottery and jewellery. Both sides of the note present the denomination. This note is part of the 2020 series, and its color is blue and multicolor underprint.
