Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Mazunas - Abd al-Aziz (Fes Mint) 1320-1323 (1903-1905) coin from Morocco is that it features a unique blend of Arabic and Berber influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features an Arabic inscription that reads "السلطنة المغربية" (meaning "The Moroccan Sultanate") and the date in the Islamic calendar year, while the reverse side features a Berber motif of a crescent moon and a five-pointed star, which are symbols of the Berber culture. This blend of cultures reflects the rich history and diversity of Morocco, where Arabic and Berber cultures have coexisted and influenced each other for centuries.
