The "coup d'état" in question was Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's removal of President Habib Bourguiba on November 7, 1987 — achieved without military force, through a declaration by seven doctors that Bourguiba was mentally unfit to govern. Ben Ali, then Prime Minister, assumed the presidency that same day. Tunisia issued commemorative coinage at each decade mark of the event, which Ben Ali's government officially rebranded as a "Change" rather than a coup. By 2007, when this piece was struck, Ben Ali was four years from his own ouster in the revolution that would ignite the Arab Spring.
