The Arabic commemorative legend 'الذكرى التاسعة للسابع من نوفمبر' curves along the upper periphery, with the French equivalent 'IXème ANNIVERSAIRE DU 7 NOVEMBRE' along the lower border. The dual date '1417-1996' appears to the right of the central design, and a secondary Arabic legend 'حقوق الإنسان لكل ذي حق حقه' is present in the field. |

| 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.
