Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern Dirham - Moulay al-Hasan I (Pattern; Marrakesh) ND (1880-1890) from Morocco made of Silver is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European design elements. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of the Moroccan king, Moulay al-Hasan I, dressed in traditional Islamic attire, while the reverse side features a pattern of interlocking circles and stars, which is a common motif in Islamic art. However, the coin's overall design is also influenced by European artistic styles, particularly the Beaux-Arts style, which was popular in France during the late 19th century.
