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 an image of the country's national emblem, which includes a crescent moon and a five-pointed star, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
