Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features an inscription in Arabic, while the reverse side features a depiction of a crowned shield, which was a common motif in European heraldry. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during the reign of Moulay 'Abd al-Rahman, who ruled Morocco during a time of great cultural and political change.
