🕌 The artistry of design

Obverse

In the center is engraved a five-pointed star (Solomon's Seal) enclosing the Islamic calendar date "AH1371."

This star is a sacred symbol in Islamic culture that symbolizes "God's wisdom and protection."

The interior and exterior of the building are adorned with beautiful Arabic calligraphy and botanical motifs.

At the top is engraved the French words "EMPIRE CHÉRIFIEN (Sharif Empire)".

This clearly shows that Morocco at that time was a state with inherited religious authority.

Back (reverse)

The denomination "50 FRANCS" is engraved in large letters in the center of the back.

It is surrounded by delicate geometric patterns and Arabic script.

The overall design is a perfect blend of French minting techniques and Moroccan Islamic decorative beauty.

Although it is a currency, it possesses a beauty that makes it a kind of religious work of art.

🧭 Historical background

The year this coin was issued, 1951 (1371 Hijri), marked a significant turning point in Morocco's modern history.

The Sultan at the time, Mohammed V, resisted the French protectorate and

He became a national hero for his support of the independence movement.

This coin is one of the last series of coins issued under French rule.

It embodies the pride of the Moroccan nation on the eve of independence.

Morocco formally gained independence in 1956.
