Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 4 Rials - Moulay al-Hasan I (Pattern) 1297 (1880) from Morocco made of Gold weighing 6.46 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European design elements. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of the Moroccan king, Moulay al-Hasan I, dressed in traditional Islamic attire, while the reverse side features a pattern of stars and crescents, which is a common motif in Islamic art. However, the coin's design also incorporates elements of European heraldry, such as the use of a shield and crown, which were popular in European coinage at the time. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Morocco and Europe during the late 19th century.
