Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the coin is that it was minted during the reign of Moulay 'Abd al-Rahman, who was the third king of the 'Alawi dynasty in Morocco and ruled from 1832 until his death in 1859. During his reign, Morocco faced significant challenges, including the threat of European colonization and internal political instability. Despite these challenges, Moulay 'Abd al-Rahman was able to maintain Morocco's independence and sovereignty, and his reign is remembered as a period of significant political and economic development for the country.
