Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Dirham - Sidi Mohammed IV (2nd Standard; Marrakesh) 1284 (1868) coin from Morocco is that it was made of silver, which was a significant change from the previous copper coins that were used in Morocco at the time. This change in material was likely due to the country's desire to align its currency with the European standard, as silver was a more valuable and widely accepted metal. The use of silver in the coin also reflects the country's efforts to modernize and become more integrated into the global economy.
