Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dirham - Moulay Sulayman (2nd Standard; Fes) 1208-1213 (1794-1798) from Morocco made of Silver weighing 2.44 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of the Moroccan king, Moulay Sulayman, dressed in traditional Islamic attire, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a flower, which was a common motif in Western coinage at the time. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the period of Moroccan history in which the coin was minted.
