100 Dirhams - Hassan II Opening of Rabat Mint

Morocco's Rabat Mint — Monnaie de Rabat — opened in 1987, ending the country's longstanding dependence on foreign mints, particularly the Paris Mint, which had struck Moroccan coinage for much of the 20th century. This coin commemorates that transition directly: a state asserting domestic production capacity after decades of outsourcing its own currency.

Y#86 is not scarce in absolute terms, but examples with fully brilliant surfaces are harder to locate than mintage figures suggest — early runs from a newly commissioned facility occasionally show inconsistent die preparation.
