| Reverse description | The Royal Arms of Morocco — the national coat of arms featuring a pentacle-emblazoned shield supported by two rampant lions beneath a royal crown, with a scroll cartouche at the base — occupies the central field. An Arabic commemorative legend arcing across the upper field reads 'الذكرى الأربعون لنيل الاستقلال' (40th Anniversary of Independence). The Hijri year 1416 appears to the right and the Christian year 1995 to the left. The denomination '200' flanked by the Arabic inscription 'مائتا درهم' (two hundred dirhams) is placed prominently along the lower field. A beaded border frames the entire design. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark forty years since the Istiqlal Declaration of November 1944 and France's formal recognition of Moroccan independence in March 1956, this coin was struck during a period when Hassan II was actively using commemorative silver to project dynastic continuity and consolidate the monarchy's symbolic role in post-colonial national identity. The 200 Dirham denomination was introduced specifically for collector-oriented commemoratives — it had no circulation equivalent in the regular series.
