Tunisia's "coup d'état" coins are unusual in numismatic culture for their candor — the Tunisian state openly labeled Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's November 7, 1987 removal of Habib Bourguiba as a coup, then commemorated its anniversaries on official currency for over two decades. Ben Ali had Bourguiba declared medically unfit by a panel of doctors, allowing a constitutional transfer without bloodshed. The French-legend variant of this type was struck alongside an Arabic-legend counterpart, a routine bilingual pairing for Tunisian commemoratives targeting both domestic and international collector markets.
