Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 10th 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. The coin's design features a portrait of the new government's leader, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, and the French legend "Anniversaire de la Révolution de la Décennie" (Anniversary of the Decennial Revolution) to reflect the country's history and cultural influences.
