| Additional information |
The Green March of November 1975 was a calculated gamble by Hassan II — dispatching 350,000 unarmed Moroccan civilians into the Spanish-controlled Western Sahara just as Franco lay dying in Madrid and Spain's capacity to respond militarily had effectively collapsed. It worked. Spain signed the Madrid Accords within weeks, transferring administration of the territory. This commemorative was issued in the first year of Mohammed VI's reign, marking the 25th anniversary under a king who had inherited both the territory and its unresolved sovereignty dispute with the Polisario Front.
