One interesting fact about the Moroccan Dirham coin is that it was minted during the reign of Moulay Sulayman, who was the third king of the Alaouite dynasty and ruled Morocco from 1792 to 1822. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, known as the "Asfi" series, which means "pure" in Arabic. The coin was made of silver and weighed 2.25 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin of its size and denomination at the time.
