Hassan II's coinage was periodically updated as the king aged, and this second portrait issue reflects a deliberate rebranding effort in the early 1970s as Morocco consolidated its post-independence monetary identity under Bank Al-Maghrib, established in 1959 to replace the colonial-era State Bank. The 1974 date places this squarely in the period following the two failed coup attempts against Hassan — the 1971 Skhirat palace coup and the 1972 F-5 fighter jet attack — after which the king emerged with considerably strengthened personal authority.
