Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Moulay 'Abd al-Rahman, who was the second king of the 'Alawi dynasty in Morocco. He ruled from 1822 until his death in 1859 and his reign saw significant political and economic changes in Morocco, including the introduction of new coinage systems.
