| Additional information |
Morocco's Revolution of the King and the People commemorates August 20, 1953, when the French colonial administration exiled Sultan Mohammed V to Madagascar — a miscalculation that galvanized nationalist resistance rather than suppressing it. His return two years later effectively ended the French Protectorate, and Morocco achieved independence in March 1956. This coin marks the 70th anniversary of that exile under Mohammed VI, his great-grandson.
The 28.28g .925 silver specification is the standard planchet shared across much of the Commonwealth commemorative market, sourced through the same handful of blanks suppliers that serve dozens of issuing authorities simultaneously.
