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 1832 to 1859. This coin is a rare example of a gold coin minted during his reign, as most coins from this time period were made of silver or copper. The fact that it was made of gold suggests that it may have been used for special purposes or ceremonial events, rather than for everyday transactions.
