The "coup d'état" this coin commemorates was Ben Ali's removal of Bourguiba on November 7, 1987 — achieved not by force but by a team of doctors certifying the aging president medically unfit to govern, a constitutional maneuver that allowed Ben Ali to sidestep the messier optics of a military seizure. By 2002, the anniversary had become an annual fixture of state self-congratulation, with the Banque Centrale issuing commemoratives in both Arabic and French legend variants to serve collector markets across North Africa and Europe.
