Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "السلطنة المغربية" (The Moroccan Sultanate) in Arabic, while the reverse side features a depiction of a crowned shield with the numeral "5" in the center, surrounded by a wreath of flowers and leaves. This blend of Islamic calligraphy and European-style heraldic elements reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the reign of Moulay al-Hasan I, who ruled Morocco during a period of significant political and social change.
