| Reverse description | The Royal Arms of Morocco are centrally displayed, featuring the national shield bearing a green pentagram on a red field, supported by two rampant lions and surmounted by a royal crown, with a scrolled ribbon device at the base. A curved Arabic commemorative legend arcs across the upper field reading the second anniversary of the enthronement of His Majesty King Mohammed VI. The Hijri year 1422 appears to the right and the Common Era year 2001 to the left. Below the arms, the denomination numeral 250 is prominently struck, with the value spelled out in Arabic text beneath: مائتان وخمسون درهما. |

| Additional information |
Mohammed VI ascended to the Moroccan throne in July 1999 following the death of Hassan II, whose 38-year reign had defined the country's modern political structure. The second anniversary issue appeared as the new king was still consolidating a public identity markedly different from his father's — younger, more reform-oriented, and deliberately visible in ways Hassan II rarely was.
Bank Al-Maghrib issued commemorative dirhams in silver for both the first and second enthronement anniversaries, an unusual consecutive pattern that reflects the political weight placed on the transition period itself rather than any single milestone date.
