Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Mithqal - Sidi Mohammed III (Rabat al-Fath; square type) coin from Morocco is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of Sultan Sidi Mohammed III, who ruled Morocco from 1773 to 1775. During his reign, Morocco was facing challenges from European powers, particularly France and Spain, who were seeking to expand their influence in the region. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a standard circulation coin and was made of silver, indicating the country's continued economic development and trade relations with other nations.
