Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features an Arabic inscription, while the reverse side features a depiction of a crowned shield with a crescent moon and star, which was a common motif in European heraldry. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred during the reign of Moulay 'Abd al-Rahman, who ruled Morocco from 1830 to 1859.
