Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Benduqi coin is that it was minted during the reign of Moulay Sulayman (Fes Hazrat) who was the Sultan of Morocco from 1795 to 1823. Despite being made of gold, the coin weighs only 3.52 grams, which is relatively light for a gold coin. This may indicate that the coin was intended for everyday use and not for large transactions or as a store of value. Additionally, the fact that it was minted during a specific reign and has a unique design may make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in Moroccan currency.
