Interesting fact
The Dirham coin , which was issued during the reign of Muhammad al-Yazid (1204-1206/1790-1792) in Morocco, features a unique design element that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The coin's obverse side features a stylized representation of the Islamic declaration of faith, known as the Shahada, which reads "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah." This inscription is written in a beautiful Arabic script and is surrounded by intricate floral patterns. The inclusion of the Shahada on the coin serves as a symbol of the Islamic faith and highlights the importance of religion in Moroccan culture during that time period.
