Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Mazunas - Abd al-Aziz (Pattern; Berlin) 1320 (1903) from Morocco made of Bronze is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European design elements. The coin's obverse side features an Arabic inscription, while the reverse side features a depiction of a crowned shield with a crescent moon and star, which is a common motif in Islamic art. However, the coin's overall design and style are heavily influenced by European art, particularly the Art Nouveau movement, which was popular at the time. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Europe and Morocco during the early 20th century.
