Tunisia's November 7, 1987 coup — engineered by Zine El Abidine Ben Ali against an increasingly erratic Habib Bourguiba, who was declared medically unfit to govern — inaugurated a commemorative cycle that the regime minted with disciplined regularity. Each anniversary produced gold issues explicitly celebrating the event Ben Ali rebranded as a "Change" rather than a coup. By 2000, the thirteenth such issue, the political choreography around the date had become a fixture of state propaganda infrastructure.
Ben Ali's government would continue issuing these anniversary pieces until his own flight into Saudi exile in January 2011.
