Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 11th 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 "République Tunisienne", reflecting the country's history as a French protectorate. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in African and Middle Eastern coins.
