Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dirham - Sidi Mohammed III (1st Standard; Rabat al-Fath) 1180-1194 (1767-1780) from Morocco made of Silver weighing 2.93 g is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in Morocco. The coin was issued during the reign of Sultan Sidi Mohammed III, who ruled Morocco from 1767 to 1780. During his reign, Morocco was facing challenges from European powers, particularly France and Spain, who were seeking to expand their influence in the region. Despite these challenges, Sultan Sidi Mohammed III was able to maintain Morocco's independence and stability, and his coinage reflects the country's rich history and cultural heritage.
