Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Franc - Mohammed V (Pattern) 1370 (1951) from Morocco made of Gold (.900) weighing 7 g is that it was never officially released into circulation. It was minted as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a prototype or sample for a potential new coin design, but it was ultimately not adopted for use. This makes it a rare and unique piece for collectors.
