Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the Green March, a significant event in Moroccan history that took place on October 16, 1975. The Green March was a peaceful demonstration where thousands of Moroccans marched from the northern city of Tangier to the southern city of El Aaiún, a distance of over 1,000 miles, to protest the Spanish occupation of Western Sahara. The march was led by King Hassan II, who was the King of Morocco at the time, and it played a significant role in raising awareness about the issue and eventually leading to the withdrawal of Spanish forces from the region. The coin's design features an image of King Hassan II on one side and the date and name of the event on the other, making it a unique and meaningful collector's item for anyone interested in Moroccan history and numismatics.
