Circulating Commemorative Coin

 I think it's type should be Circulating Commemorative Coin and not standard circulating coin.

Based on what information? I‘m not saying you are wrong or right, but where is your evidence for a change?

I do not see anything on the coin that points to FAO … same reverse as previous and posterior 1 dinar coins, just with a different obverse.

More information is needed ….

The reverse is an agricultural scene, that points to FAO. KM lists the Dinars as FAO coins.

Yes, therefore it should be a circulating commemorative coin type.

The coin in question;

I didn’t want to get involved in this conversation, but in direct response to the OPs question; you are basing your assumption that the coin should be a circulating commemorative coin solely on the fact that it is FAO coin series listed on the Numista page. To change the category from Standard Circulating to Circulating Commemorative you need to provide evidence to the Numista referee via the „modify or add data“ request. At the moment your only evidence is that someone has entered the coin (as recorded on the Numista page) as FAO series. Where as the actual coin doesn‘t state any FAO on the coin that I can see (at least not in English). Most FAO coins have some FAO branding.

Furthermore the coin has a common obverse known as the „country map“ which appears on the ½ Dinar denomination, and it has a common reverse that appears on all junk metal 1 Dinar coins which are circulation currency.

It may well be that the FAO had some input into the coin, but it is up to the Nation whether the coin is released as a Circulating Commemorative or a Standard Circulation coin. In this case I am sure that the coin is a Standard Circulating coin and not a Circulating Commemorative coin, 1 - because the coin has no FAO, 2 - because there are standard Obverse and Reverse designs, and 3 - because I am almost certain that whoever created the page had the evidence at hand when doing so (be it catalogue or government/bank information from Tunisia).

However you have the right to try and modify the coin, you just need to find more evidence than „because it is FAO“ to get it changed.

Maybe someone has the FAO international coin catalogue? Now that’s what I call evidence ….

Interesting that you use the ½ Dinar Country map coin to support a common obverse argument that the 1 Dinar should be a Standard circulation coin when the ½ Dinar is listed in Numista as a Circulating commemorative coin.

I don't know the correct answer but clearly the two coins should be the same.

These two also. Why is one Standard circulation and the other Circulating commemorative?

And then there's this from SCWC:

I typed out the bit about the country map after seeing 2 of the coins, not realising 1 was the coin in question! So I just left it in as a shot in the dark 😉

I think someone who can read Arabic can tell us what the text says and if it mentions FAO somewhere missed by the page translation, and yes all these ½s and ones seem mixed up, some circulating commemorative, some standard, some FAO - to me this sounds odd. But again until someone provides evidence….

… all these ½s and ones seem mixed up, some circulating commemorative, some standard, some FAO - to me this sounds odd. But again until someone provides evidence….

Indeed not logical that a design that was used for 4 types and 11 different years (for the 1 dinar) can still be considered as a commemorative design, to me this is a regular coin (maybe designed for FAO in 1976, but became regular afterwards)
