Interesting 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 installation of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali as the new president. The coin's design features a portrait of Ben Ali on one side and the Tunisian coat of arms on the other. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in African and Middle Eastern coins.
