Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Francs - Mohammed V (Essai) 1347 (1929) from Morocco is that it was minted during the reign of King Mohammed V, who was the first king of Morocco to issue coins with his own image on them. This coin, which features the king's portrait on one side and the Moroccan coat of arms on the other, was minted as a pattern or trial coin, which means it was not intended for circulation and was instead used as a sample or prototype. The fact that it was made of silver (.680) and weighs 5 grams adds to its uniqueness and value as a collector's item.
