Comment
I can not see all the script it states this coin should have on it. By date and size my coin matches the rest of the information. If it is incorrect please remove my images.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 inscription in Arabic, 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 influence that occurred between Morocco and Europe during the 19th century.
