Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dirham - Moulay al-Hasan I (Fes) 1291 (1874) from Morocco made of Silver weighing 2.93 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features an inscription in Arabic, while the reverse side features a depiction of a crowned shield with a crescent moon and star, which was a common motif in European heraldry. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the period of European colonialism in Morocco.
