Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dirham - Moulay Sulayman (4th Standard; Essaouira) 1215-1219 (1801-1805) from Morocco made of Silver weighing 2.15 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features an inscription in Arabic, while the reverse side features a depiction of a crowned shield with a crescent moon and star, which was a common motif in European heraldry. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Morocco and Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries.
