Interesting fact

The ½ Dirham coin from Morocco, featuring King Mohammed VI, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. The coin has a distinctive "keyhole" shaped hole in the center, which is said to represent the door to the Kasbah of the Udayas in Rabat, a historic fortress and palace that was built in the 12th century. This design element not only adds to the coin's aesthetic appeal but also serves as a symbol of Morocco's rich history and cultural heritage.
