The Pattern 1 Franc - Mohammed V (Piedfort Essai) 1361 (1942) from Morocco made of Aluminium bronze is a rare and unique coin, with only 100 pieces minted. It was created as a trial strike, and its Piedfort designation indicates that it was struck multiple times to create a thicker and more detailed coin. The use of aluminum bronze in its minting process also adds to its distinctiveness, as it was a departure from the traditional metals used in coin production at the time.
