The 1950 Tunisia 90 Francs Coin: Why It Doesn't Exist

There is no 1950 Tunisian 90-franc coin. Here's the historical context:

• French 90-franc coins were minted in silver from 1928–1935 for use in France, not Tunisia.
• Tunisia was a French protectorate until independence in 1956.
• Post-independence, Tunisia began issuing its own currency (the Tunisian franc, later the dinar).

Any coin labeled "Tunisia 90 francs 1950" is likely a fantasy piece, misattribution, or novelty item with no numismatic value.
