Tunisia's "Coup d'état" commemorative series marks the November 7, 1987 removal of Habib Bourguiba by Prime Minister Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, who declared the aging president medically unfit to govern — a clinical pretext for what was unambiguously a bloodless coup. Ben Ali then rebranded the date as a national holiday, "Change Day," and issued successive commemoratives as the anniversary climbed. By the 22nd iteration in 2009, the series had become an annual exercise in self-commemoration by a government two years away from its own violent end in the 2011 Jasmine Revolution.
