Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Benduqi coin is that it was minted during the reign of Moulay 'Abd al-Rahman, who was the Sultan of Morocco from 1826 to 1853. During his rule, he implemented many reforms, including the modernization of the country's currency, which led to the minting of coins like the Benduqi. The coin's design features the Sultan's name and title in Arabic, as well as the date of minting in the Islamic calendar. The use of gold in the coin's minting was a symbol of the Sultan's wealth and power, and it was likely used for large transactions or as a store of value.
