Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features an inscription in Arabic, while the reverse side features a depiction of a crowned shield with a crescent moon and star, which was a common motif in European heraldry. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history and diversity of Morocco during the time period in which the coin was minted.
