Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 2nd anniversary of the Green March, a significant event in Moroccan history that took place on October 16, 1975. The Green March was a peaceful demonstration where thousands of Moroccans marched from the northern city of Tangier to the southern city of Lagouira, in support of the country's claim to the Western Sahara region, which was occupied by Spain at the time. The march was led by King Hassan II, who is featured on the coin, and it played a significant role in raising international awareness about the issue and eventually led to the withdrawal of Spanish forces from the region.
