Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dirham - Moulay Sulayman (3rd Standard; Fes Hazrat) 1213-1215 (1799-1801) from Morocco made of Silver weighing 2.25 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 representation of the Moroccan coat of arms, which incorporates elements of both Islamic and European heraldry. This blending of styles reflects the complex cultural and historical context of Morocco during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, when the country was facing increasing influence from European powers while still maintaining its Islamic traditions and identity.
