Tunisia's 1967 gold 2 Dinars marks the tenth anniversary of the republic declared on July 25, 1957, after Habib Bourguiba abolished the monarchy and sent the last Bey of Tunis, Muhammad VIII al-Amin, into internal exile. The issue was a deliberate act of national self-definition by a government still consolidating its post-colonial identity, struck just three years after Tunisia introduced the dinar itself as a replacement for the franc.
Mintage was limited, intended for presentation and collector sets rather than circulation. The .900 fineness matches French gold coinage standards — an irony not lost on a nation that had spent the prior decade dismantling French institutional influence.
