Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Mazunas coin from Morocco is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Abd al-Aziz" in Arabic, while the reverse side features a depiction of a crowned shield with the numeral "5" in the center, which is a common feature of European coinage. This blending of design elements reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Morocco and Europe during the early 20th century.
