Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 20 Francs - Mohammed V (Essai; different design) 1347 (1929) from Morocco made of Silver is that it features a unique design that was not ultimately adopted as the standard design for the Moroccan 20 franc coin. The coin features a portrait of Mohammed V, the Sultan of Morocco from 1927 to 1953, with a distinctive crown and robes. The design was created as a trial or "essai" piece, and only a limited number were produced, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
