Comment
These pieces are controversial, as weight seems to be higher than ciruclation pieces (12.5g) and the edge is smooth (without stars). Possibly a pattern or a presentation issueInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Dirhams - Yusuf (high weight and smooth edge) 1331 (1913) from Morocco is that it was minted during a time of great change in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of Sultan Yusuf, who ruled Morocco from 1912 to 1927. This was a period of significant political and social upheaval, as Morocco was facing pressure from European powers and undergoing modernization efforts. The coin's design, which features a unique blend of traditional Islamic motifs and modernist elements, reflects this cultural and historical context.
