Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Sultan Hisham, who was known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms, and this coin was part of a new standardized currency system that he introduced to replace the various local currencies that were in use throughout the Moroccan states at the time.
