Tunisia's so-called "Medical Coup" of November 7, 1987 saw Prime Minister Zine El Abidine Ben Ali remove Habib Bourguiba from power by invoking a constitutional clause requiring a medical panel to certify the president unfit for office — a procedure deployed for the first time in Tunisian history. Ben Ali's government subsequently institutionalized November 7th as a national celebration, and commemorative gold issues marking each anniversary became a predictable fixture of the Banque Centrale's output through the 1990s.
The 1999 issue marks twelve years of Ben Ali's rule, less than a decade before the 2011 revolution forced him into exile in Saudi Arabia.
