Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued 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 led by Zine El Abidine Ben Ali. 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, and the French legend "République Tunisienne" (Tunisian Republic) at the top. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in African and Middle Eastern coins.
