| Additional information |
Mohammed VI ascended to the Moroccan throne in July 1999 following the death of his father Hassan II, whose 38-year reign had been defined by political repression severe enough to earn its own historical label — the "Years of Lead." The anniversary coinage program launched under the new reign was partly a deliberate rebranding exercise, associating the monarchy with modernity and continuity rather than the darker decades prior.
The 28.28g/.925 silver specification places this squarely in the global commemorative blanks market, with planchets almost certainly sourced from a European supplier — the same format used by dozens of central banks issuing commemoratives in this period.
