| Reverse description | Central design depicting a stylised ceremonial gateway or palace entrance rendered in perspective, with the Moroccan Royal Coat of Arms — featuring the pentacle, Atlas Mountains, rising sun, and supporting lions — displayed prominently at the centre. Radiating lines above the coat of arms suggest sunburst motifs. The Arabic legend arcs along the upper periphery, while the bilingual denomination '250' appears in the lower centre flanked by Arabic and French denomination inscriptions. The French commemorative legend curves along the lower border, and a rope-milled edge frames the entire reverse. The mirrored proof fields contrast sharply with the frosted devices. |

| Additional information |
Mohammed VI ascended the throne on July 30, 1999, following the death of his father Hassan II, who had ruled Morocco for 38 years. The twentieth anniversary issue falls in the same year Morocco's parliament ratified sweeping constitutional amendments — a belated institutional response to the 2011 Arab Spring protests that had forced the palace into significant political concessions.
Bank Al-Maghrib has issued anniversary commemoratives at the five-year intervals of this reign with notable consistency. The .925 silver specification here mirrors the weight standard shared with several contemporaneous Moroccan commemoratives, suggesting shared planchet sourcing rather than a bespoke minting decision.
