| Reverse description | A richly detailed allegorical scene in high relief depicts a jubilant crowd of Moroccan citizens in traditional dress celebrating the king's reign. Figures carry Moroccan national flags bearing the five-pointed green star, and several individuals hold aloft a framed portrait of King Hassan II. Above the crowd, a large dove in flight dominates the upper field, symbolising peace and prosperity. The composition evokes the spirit of national unity and popular devotion, rendered in a medallic pictorial style with fine sculptural depth. No legend or inscription appears on the reverse. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 25th anniversary of Hassan II's accession following the death of his father Mohammed V in February 1961, this commemorative was struck in a period when Morocco was consolidating its post-independence monetary institutions. Bank Al-Maghrib had only been formally established in 1959, replacing the Banque d'État du Maroc, making silver commemoratives of this quality a relatively recent tradition for the kingdom.
Mintage was modest and distribution largely ceremonial. Most examples were sold in presentation packaging rather than released to circulation.
