The Dirham coin , which was issued by Muhammed al-Yazid (Fes) in Morocco between 1790 and 1792, features a unique design that reflects the country's rich history and culture. On one side of the coin, there is an inscription in Arabic that reads "Muhammed al-Yazid, King of Morocco," while the other side features a stylized image of a lion, which is a symbol of power and strength in Moroccan culture.
