Ahmed Zabana was the first Algerian to be guillotined by French colonial authorities during the War of Independence — executed on 19 June 1956 despite international appeals for clemency, a date now marked as Algeria's National Day of Memory. His execution prompted a wave of retaliatory attacks by the FLN within days. Commemorating him on circulating bimetallic coinage decades later reflects a sustained official effort to anchor the independence generation into everyday economic life.
