Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Moulay Ibrahim, also known as Hisham, who was the Sultan of Morocco from 1791 to 1803. During his reign, he implemented several economic reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system, which included the ½ Dinar coin made of gold. This coin was used as a standard circulation coin in the City of Marrakesh and other parts of the Moroccan States.
