Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dirham - Moulay 'Abd al-Rahman (5th Standard; Fes) 1270-1276 (1854-1860) from Morocco made of Silver weighing 2.15 g is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in Morocco. The coin was issued during the reign of Moulay 'Abd al-Rahman, who ruled Morocco from 1854 to 1860, a period marked by the country's transition from a traditional Islamic state to a modernizing power. The coin's design, which features an inscription in Arabic and a depiction of the king, reflects the blending of traditional Islamic motifs with European influences, which was a hallmark of Moroccan art and architecture during this time.
