| Additional information |
The 7th of November 1987 was the date Zine El Abidine Ben Ali deposed Habib Bourguiba in a bloodless coup, declaring the elderly president medically unfit to govern. Ben Ali's government subsequently institutionalized the date as a national holiday, and the Central Bank issued commemorative gold coinage on successive anniversaries as a deliberate instrument of regime legitimization. By the ninth anniversary, the series was well established as a propaganda exercise in precious metal.
