Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 20 Francs - Mohammed V (Essai) 1366 (1947) from Morocco made of Copper-nickel weighing 10g is that it features a unique design that was never officially adopted as a circulating coin. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of King Mohammed V, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the Moroccan flag. The coin's design was created by the French engraver, Albert Decaris, and it was minted in 1947 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. Despite its limited mintage, the coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and unique design.
