| Obverse description | At left, a portrait vignette of King Mohammed VI is set against a guilloche underprint incorporating Moroccan arabesque ornamental motifs and a stylized football. The Royal Coat of Arms of Morocco appears in the upper field, with an exterior architectural vignette of the Moulay Abdallah Stadium of Rabat occupying the central register. A cartographic outline of the African continent reinforces the commemorative theme of the 35th Africa Cup of Nations. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette presents an interior panoramic view of the Moulay Abdallah Stadium in Rabat, framed by stylized silhouettes of footballers in dynamic action poses. A football rendered with an inlaid cartographic motif of Africa occupies the lower design field, surrounded by radiating stars evoking celebration, the whole composition integrated within interlacing Moroccan arabesque and Pan-African decorative elements. |

Morocco hosted the Africa Cup of Nations in January–February 2025, the country's first time staging the tournament since 1988 — a gap partly explained by Morocco's suspension from the Confederation of African Football between 1964 and 1980, and more recently by repeated failed bids. Bank Al-Maghrib commissioned this commemorative through Dar As-Sikkah, the state security printer it has used since 1987, keeping production entirely domestic.
Commemorative dirhams in polymer or special cotton issues are still relatively uncommon from this issuer, making P#83 a minor policy departure worth noting for type collectors.
