Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Franc - Mohammed V (Essai) 1364 (1945) from Morocco is a rare and unique coin that was minted during the French protectorate over Morocco. The coin features an image of Mohammed V, the Sultan of Morocco, on one side and the French Republic's coat of arms on the other. What makes this coin particularly interesting is that it was minted in aluminum bronze, a metal that was not commonly used in coinage at the time. This makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists who are interested in rare and unusual coins.
