Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Moulay 'Abd al-Rahman, who was the fifth ruler of the 'Alawi dynasty in Morocco. He ruled from 1852 to 1860, and his reign was marked by significant political and economic reforms, including the introduction of new coinage systems and the modernization of the country's infrastructure. The Dirham coin, which was minted in silver, was one of the new currency systems introduced during his reign, and it remained in circulation until the early 20th century.
