(MENAFN- Qatar News Agency) A new 50 dinar banknote is soon due to be issued in Tunisia, said the Governor of Tunisia's Central Bank (BCT) Taoufik Baccar.
The banknote will represent the literary scholar Ibn Rachiq Al Kairouani ten days after the launch of festivities celebrating Kairouan as Islamic Cultural Capital for 2009.
Baccar who made the announcement during the international colloquium on "Numismatics and the history of money coins in Tunisia," also said that the choice of the scholar to illustrate the banknote was in line with Tunisia's rootedness in Arab Moslem sources.
There are currently three types of banknotes in circulation in Tunisia, ten dinar notes, twenty dinar notes and thirty dinar notes.
