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 bears the inscription "Al-Sultan al-Wathiq Billah" (The Sultan who trusts in God) in Arabic, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with a crescent moon and star, which was a common motif in European heraldry. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Morocco and Europe during the 19th century.
