| Additional information |
Tunisia issued a magnetic bimetallic 5-dinar piece in 2021 bearing Bourguiba's portrait — a politically loaded decision given that his successor Ben Ali had spent decades systematically erasing Bourguiba from public life after the 1987 coup. The rehabilitation began only after Ben Ali's own ouster in the 2011 revolution. The "magnetic" designation distinguishes this from earlier non-magnetic bimetallic 5-dinar types, a variation introduced to accommodate automated coin-sorting infrastructure.
