| Additional information |
The "Change of 7 November" refers to the bloodless coup of November 7, 1987, in which Prime Minister Zine El Abidine Ben Ali had President Habib Bourguiba declared medically unfit for office and assumed the presidency. Ben Ali used the anniversary as a recurring commemorative anchor throughout his rule, and by 2004 the 7 November iconography had become institutionalized state mythology. The elections marked on this coin were widely criticized by international observers as neither free nor competitive — Ben Ali won with over 94% of the reported vote.
