Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dirham - Moulay Sulayman (2nd Standard; Marrakesh) 1212 (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 crowned shield with a crescent moon and star, which was a common motif in Western heraldry. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the period of Moroccan history in which the coin was minted.
