Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Dirham coin from Morocco made of Silver (.835) weighing 1.4558 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "Al-Sultan Al-Mu'ayyad Moulay al-Hasan I" in Arabic, while the reverse side features a stylized floral pattern that is reminiscent of European coinage designs of the time. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influences that were prevalent during the reign of Moulay al-Hasan I, who ruled Morocco from 1882 to 1897.
