Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "السلطنة المغربية" (meaning "The Moroccan Sultanate") in Arabic, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Morocco, which was influenced by European heraldry. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred during the reign of Moulay 'Abd al-Rahman, who ruled Morocco during a time of great change and modernization.
