Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Centimes - Mohammed V (Essai) 1361 (1942) from Morocco made of Aluminium bronze weighing 1.99g is that it features a unique design that was never officially adopted as currency. The coin was minted as a pattern, or trial, coin and was not circulated or used as legal tender. This makes it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in Moroccan currency.
