Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Moroccan Dirham coin from 1798 is that it features an inscription in Arabic script on one side, which translates to "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah." This inscription reflects the Islamic faith of the Moroccan people and highlights the importance of religion in the country's history and culture.
