Comment
NOTE: size varies between 20 and 22mmInteresting 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 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.
