Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Moroccan Dirham coin is that it was minted during the reign of Moulay Sulayman, who was the second king of the Alaouite dynasty, which has ruled Morocco since the 17th century. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that includes the king's name and title, as well as the date of minting in both the Islamic and Gregorian calendars. This coin is a rare example of a silver Dirham from this time period and is highly sought after by collectors.
