Commemorative medal. Issued by a private mint – the Northwest Territorial Mint in Washington State (USA) – a few months after the 2010/2011 "revolution" – known as the "Arab Spring", the "Jasmine Revolution" or, in French, le "tunisami" (a unique play on words). The medal is dated 14 January 2011, on which day Ben Ali was forced to flee his own country. The legend in Arabic translates on the one side: "Liberty for the Tunisian People, Glory to the Martyrs"; on the opposite side is written "Long live free Tunisia". The medal is partially enameled, 4,5cm in diameter, made of brass, and weighs 44.27g.
