Tunisia's November 7, 1987 coup removed Habib Bourguiba — the country's founding president and dominant political figure for three decades — through a constitutional maneuver: Prime Minister Zine El Abidine Ben Ali had Bourguiba declared medically unfit to govern, bypassing any need for military force or bloodshed. Ben Ali's government subsequently institutionalized the date as a national holiday and issued commemorative coinage at regular intervals to reinforce the event's legitimacy. The French-legend variant of this issue reflects Tunisia's enduring administrative bilingualism, with parallel Arabic and French editions struck for the same release.
