Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 9th 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 inscription "République de Tunisie" (Republic of Tunisia) in Arabic and French. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in African and Middle Eastern coins.
