Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 14th 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 a portrait of Ben Ali on one side and the Tunisian coat of arms on the other, along with the anniversary dates and the motto "Fidelity, Liberty, Justice" in French. The use of gold and the relatively high weight of the coin reflect the significance of the event being commemorated and the importance of the anniversary for the Tunisian government.
