Interesting fact
The Dirham coin , which was issued during the reign of Sidi Mohammed III 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 king's name, "Sidi Mohammed," in Arabic script, which is surrounded by a wreath of flowers and leaves. This design element was a departure from the traditional Islamic coinage designs that were commonly used in Morocco at the time, which typically featured Arabic inscriptions and geometric patterns. The use of floral motifs on the coin's obverse side was a nod to the country's rich cultural heritage and its connection to the natural world.
