Interesting fact
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 "third standard" coins, which were introduced to address the shortage of small denomination coins in circulation at the time. The Dirham was a widely used denomination during this period, and this particular coin is a rare and valuable example of Moroccan numismatic history.
