Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dirham - Moulay Sulayman (2nd Standard; Miknas) 1208-1211 (1794-1797) from Morocco made of Silver weighing 2.44 g is that it was minted during the reign of Moulay Sulayman, who was the Sultan of Morocco from 1792 to 1822. This coin was part of a series of coins that were minted during his reign, which were designed to standardize the currency of Morocco and replace the various local currencies that were in use at the time. The coin features an inscription in Arabic that reads "Al-Sultan al-Wathiq Billah Moulay Sulayman" (The Sultan who trusts in God, Moulay Sulayman), indicating the Sultan's name and title. The coin's design also includes a crescent moon and a five-pointed star, which are common symbols found on Moroccan coins.
