| Obverse description | Effigy of King Mohammed VI depicted as a bare-headed, right-facing portrait bust set within the silver-toned copper-nickel centre field. The portrait is rendered in high relief with a smooth, modern sculptural style. Encircling the effigy within the inner ring is an Arabic legend reading the royal title and the country name, with the dual Gregorian and Hijri dates '2012 - 1433' inscribed along the lower border of the centre disc. The outer nickel brass ring is decorated with a rope or cable pattern along its edge. |

| Additional information |
Chellah, the walled necropolis on the southern edge of Rabat, was originally a Roman settlement — Sala Colonia — before the Merinid dynasty converted it into a royal burial complex in the 14th century. The monumental gate commemorated here is Merinid work, built under Abu al-Hassan in the 1330s. By 2012, Chellah had long functioned as a UNESCO-recognized heritage site, and Bank Al-Maghrib's bimetallic 100-dirham series had become a consistent vehicle for documenting Moroccan architectural patrimony across multiple issues.
Y#161 is part of that broader commemorative program rather than a standalone release tied to a specific political event.
