a "Coup d'état" is literaly when the state administration is hit. Actually it's when the leader of a country is taken over by soembody else. It's generally violent and led by an army.

The sudden overthrow of a government through unconstitutional means by a part of the state establishment, that mostly replaces just the top power figures.

That's a takeover of the government by a hostile group, usually a group of rebels.
It's a French phrase. "Coup" means "cut" or "strike" and "etat" is the state, or government.
