Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Moroccan Dirham coin is that it was minted during the reign of Moulay Sulayman, who was the fifth Sultan of the Alaouite dynasty, which has ruled Morocco since the 17th century. The coin features the Sultan's name and title in Arabic script on one side, and the date 1218 (1804) in the Islamic calendar on the other side. The use of both Arabic and Islamic elements on the coin reflects the rich cultural and religious heritage of Morocco.
