Comment
Note: It seems that Krause has listed this coin twice; as KM#376 and KM#A350Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 12th anniversary of the 1987 coup d'état in Tunisia, which led to the overthrow of the country's long-time president, Habib Bourguiba, and the establishment of a new government led by Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. The coin's design features an Arabic inscription that translates to "12th Anniversary of the Revolution" and a portrait of Ben Ali, who ruled Tunisia from 1987 until he was ousted in the 2011 Arab Spring uprising.
