One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dirham - Moulay Sulayman (5th Standard; Fes Hazrat) 1218 (1804) from Morocco made of Silver weighing 2.93 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Arabic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of the King, Moulay Sulayman, wearing a turban and a beard, while the reverse side features an inscription in Arabic script that reads "Al-Sultan al-Wahhab" (The Giving Sultan) and "Moulay Sulayman" (the name of the king) surrounded by a wreath of flowers.
