Comment
NOTE: diameter varies between 22-26mmInteresting 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 styles reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the period of European colonialism in Morocco.
