Tunisia's so-called "Coup d'état Anniversary" coinage commemorates the November 7, 1987 removal of Habib Bourguiba by Prime Minister Zine El Abidine Ben Ali — bloodless, and carried out under a constitutional provision declaring Bourguiba medically unfit to govern. Ben Ali's government preferred the term "Change" over coup, and official Tunisian nomenclature shifted accordingly. The French-legend variant was produced alongside an Arabic-legend counterpart, reflecting Tunisia's bilingual administrative reality rather than any distinct circulation target.
KM#340 was struck across a fourteen-year window, an unusually long production run for a commemorative gold issue.
