Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Mazuna - Muhammed al-Yazid coin is that it was issued during a time of significant political and economic change in Morocco. The coin was minted during the reign of Sultan Slimane, who ruled Morocco from 1790 to 1803. During his reign, Morocco faced challenges from European powers, particularly France, which had begun to encroach on Moroccan territory. Additionally, the country was experiencing economic difficulties, including inflation and debasement of the currency. Despite these challenges, the Mazuna - Muhammed al-Yazid coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency in Morocco and beyond.
