5 Centimes - Muhammad V reduced size

Morocco's 1920 coinage was struck under French protectorate administration using the name of Sultan Moulay Yusuf, not Muhammad V — the reference to Muhammad V here almost certainly reflects a catalog attribution tied to a later reign for continuity within a series rather than actual issue under that sultan's authority. The reduced module was adopted that year as a wartime-legacy economy measure, France having scaled back bronze and nickel coinage across its territories following metal shortages dating to 1914.
