Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Green March, a significant event in Moroccan history that took place on October 25, 1975. The Green March was a peaceful demonstration where thousands of Moroccans marched towards the southern city of El-Aaiún, which was occupied by Spain at the time, to demand the withdrawal of Spanish forces and the integration of Western Sahara into Morocco. The march was led by King Hassan II, who was succeeded by King Mohammed VI in 1999. The coin's design features an image of King Mohammed VI on one side and the map of Western Sahara on the other, symbolizing Morocco's claim over the territory.
