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 installation of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali as the new president. The coin's design features the national emblem of Tunisia on one side and the anniversary date on the other. It was minted in limited quantities and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
