| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a multi-line Arabic oath inscription centered in the field, commemorating the 15th anniversary of the Green March. A curved commemorative legend arching along the upper portion of the coin reads 'The Fifteenth Anniversary of the Green March' in Arabic. The dual date '1411' (AH) appears to the right and '1990' (AD) to the left, flanking the central text. At the bottom of the field, the denomination '200' in Western numerals is flanked by the Arabic word for 'Dirhams' on either side. The entire design is enclosed within a rope-style border matching the obverse. |

| Additional information |
The Green March of November 1975 was Hassan II's masterstroke of nationalist mobilization: 350,000 Moroccan civilians, carrying flags and Qur'ans, crossed into Spanish-controlled Western Sahara in a carefully staged provocation that forced Spain — already paralyzed by Franco's imminent death — into the Madrid Accords. Spain ceded the territory within weeks. This 1990 gold issue marks the fifteenth anniversary of that event, struck in a year when Morocco was still actively defending its claim against Polisario Front guerrillas backed by Algeria.
KM#90a distinguishes the gold striking from a companion silver issue (KM#90), both released simultaneously by Bank Al-Maghrib as part of Hassan II's broader program of commemorative coinage tied to events of his reign.
