Tunisia's "Coup d'état" commemoratives mark Zine El Abidine Ben Ali's removal of President Habib Bourguiba on November 7, 1987 — an event Ben Ali's government consistently rebranded as a "medical coup," citing a team of doctors who declared Bourguiba incompetent. Bourguiba, who had led Tunisia since independence in 1956, was placed under house arrest in Monastir and remained there until his death in 2000. The annual November 7th commemorative coin series became one of the more sustained exercises in autocratic self-celebration in North African numismatics, running for decades under Ben Ali's presidency.
Ben Ali himself was ousted in January 2011, the first leader toppled by the Arab Spring.
