Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 20 Francs - Mohammed V (Essai) 1352 (1934) from Morocco made of Aluminium weighing 5.04 g is that it is a rare and unique coin, with only a few examples known to exist. It was minted in 1934 as a trial or pattern coin, and it features a portrait of Mohammed V, the Sultan of Morocco at the time, on one side, and the Moroccan coat of arms on the other.
