Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dirham - Sidi Mohammed IV (1st Standard; Fes) 1277-1279 (1861-1863) from Morocco made of Silver weighing 1.95 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 IV, who ruled Morocco from 1859 to 1873. During his reign, Morocco was facing pressure from European powers, particularly France and Spain, who were seeking to expand their influence in the region. The coin's minting was likely a response to the need for a standardized currency that could be used throughout the country, as well as a symbol of Moroccan sovereignty and independence.
