| Additional information |
Bank Al-Maghrib's shift to .9999 fine gold for this issue marked a deliberate departure from the .900 alloy used in most of Morocco's earlier gold coinage — a technical specification aligned with international bullion standards rather than any domestic monetary tradition. Morocco's central bank began issuing collector and commemorative gold in earnest only after the 1987 statute reforms that clarified its mandate to produce numismatic pieces alongside circulating currency.
The 2009 date places this coin in Mohammed VI's second decade of rule, a period of significant infrastructural expansion funded partly through foreign reserve management overseen by Bank Al-Maghrib itself.
