The "coup d'état" framing is Tunisia's own official terminology — remarkably candid for a commemorative coin. The November 7, 1987 removal of Habib Bourguiba by Prime Minister Zine El Abidine Ben Ali was declared a constitutional transfer of power on medical grounds, but Tunis never bothered to sanitize the language on its anniversary issues. Ben Ali's government struck this series annually through the 1990s, each one marking another year of a presidency that would eventually run to 23 before collapsing in January 2011.
