Tunisia's "Coup d'état" commemorative series marks the seizure of power by Zine El Abidine Ben Ali on November 7, 1987 — when he deposed the ailing Habib Bourguiba by invoking a medical incapacity clause, with a team of doctors signing a certificate declaring the president unfit to govern. The anniversary issues appeared annually for decades, the French-legend variants produced alongside Arabic-legend counterparts for distinct collector markets.
By 2006, Ben Ali's government was already deep into the authoritarian consolidation that would end with his flight to Saudi Arabia in January 2011.
