Mohammed VI ascended the Moroccan throne in July 1999 following the death of Hassan II, whose 38-year reign had kept the dirham tightly managed under a fixed exchange regime. This bimetallic 10-dirham piece was introduced in 2002 as part of the first substantive coinage reform under the new king, modernizing a denomination structure that had remained largely unchanged through the final decade of his father's rule. The shift to bimetallic construction — already standard across European and North African issues by this point — was driven by anti-counterfeiting concerns specific to high-denomination circulating coinage.
