Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Franc - Mohammed V (Essai) 1361 (1942) from Morocco made of Aluminium bronze weighing 4.06 g is that it was minted during the French protectorate over Morocco, which lasted from 1912 to 1956. The coin features the portrait of Mohammed V, the Sultan of Morocco at the time, and was likely minted as a trial or pattern coin, which is indicated by the "Essai" label. The use of aluminum bronze in the coin's composition was also a unique choice, as most coins of the time were made of more traditional metals like copper, silver, or gold.
