| Reverse description | A modernist commemorative design occupies the central field, featuring three interlocking circular motifs arranged in a dynamic composition, each bearing the numeral 21, referencing the 21st century, with a crescent and star device positioned above. Stars are distributed around the lower periphery. The Arabic legend الذكرى الثالثة عشر للسابع من نوفمبر (13th Anniversary of 7 November) curves along the upper border. The dual dating 2000 and 1421, separated by a star, appears along the lower exergue, with the engraver's name الفخفاخ (El Fakhfakh) inscribed in the lower central field. |

| Additional information |
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.
