| Reverse description | Central device comprises the Royal Arms of Morocco — a shield bearing a green pentagram over a rising sun, supported by two rampant lions and surmounted by a royal crown, with a scroll below. The Arabic legend arching across the upper field reads 'Kingdom of Morocco' and the commemorative inscription marking the twentieth anniversary of the king's accession to the throne. The denomination '150' appears in Western-Arabic numerals below the arms, with the value in Arabic script beneath. The Hijri year 1401 appears to the right and the Common Era year 1981 to the left of the arms. A rope-pattern border frames the design. |

| Additional information |
Hassan II ascended the Moroccan throne in March 1961 following the sudden death of his father Mohammed V, and the early years of his reign were turbulent enough that a twentieth anniversary felt worth marking formally. The 1981 commemorative program coincided with a period of significant domestic tension — the early 1980s brought severe economic strain tied to falling phosphate revenues and IMF-mandated austerity, making a silver issue at this weight something of a political statement about institutional continuity.
Bank Al-Maghrib issued these in limited quantities for the collector market rather than circulation.
