Issued to mark the 35th anniversary of Moroccan independence from France and Spain, formally achieved on March 2, 1956, following Sultan Mohammed V's return from exile in Madagascar. Hassan II, who ascended the throne in 1961, used commemorative silver issues strategically throughout his reign — as much diplomatic objects as monetary ones, often struck in limited quantities and rarely seen in circulation.
The .925 fineness places this among Bank Al-Maghrib's higher-grade silver commemoratives of the period.
