| Reverse description | The reverse commemorates the 14th Anniversary of the November 7th coup d'état. The central design features an architectural gateway with two open doors decorated with dot-bordered panels, flanking a central motif of the map of Tunisia set upon a plinth with radiating lines in the foreground. Above the gateway, the Tunisian crescent and star emblem is displayed prominently. The Olympic rings appear superimposed at the apex of the gateway, referencing the Mediterranean Games. Stars are distributed along the lower periphery between the dual dates '2001' and '1422', and the engraver's signature 'الفخفاخ' (El Fakhfakh) appears in the lower right field. The commemorative Arabic legend arcs around the upper border. |

Tunisia's "Coup d'état" commemoratives mark the November 7, 1987 removal of Habib Bourguiba by Prime Minister Zine El Abidine Ben Ali — achieved without bloodshed through a declaration of medical incapacity rather than military force. Ben Ali's government rebranded the event as a "Change," though the coin series retained the blunter term. By 2001, fourteen such anniversary issues had been struck, each incrementally documented in the KM catalog as Ben Ali consolidated a personality cult that would itself collapse in January 2011.
