Tunisia's "Coup d'état" coinage commemorates the November 7, 1987 removal of Habib Bourguiba by Prime Minister Zine El Abidine Ben Ali — carried out without bloodshed after a team of doctors, conveniently, declared the 83-year-old president medically unfit to govern. Ben Ali's government institutionalized the anniversary as a national holiday, producing commemorative issues across multiple years to reinforce the event's legitimacy. The French-legend variant was struck alongside an Arabic-legend counterpart, reflecting Tunisia's bilingual administrative tradition inherited from the protectorate period.
