Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Mithqal - Sidi Mohammed III (Marrakesh) 1190 (1776) coin from Morocco is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of the Moroccan king, Sidi Mohammed III, dressed in traditional Islamic attire, while the reverse side features a depiction of the Islamic crescent moon and star, surrounded by a wreath of flowers and foliage that is reminiscent of European coins of the time.
