Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dirham - Sidi Mohammed III (1st Standard; Tanger) 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 faced challenges from European powers, particularly Spain and Portugal, who sought to expand their influence in the region. Despite these challenges, the Sultan was able to maintain Morocco's independence and stability, and the coin remains a testament to his leadership and the country's rich history.
