Beschrijving keerzijde A large six-pointed star (hexagram) dominates the field, its six triangular points radiating outward and each filled with Arabic Maghrebi script legends attesting to the coin's quality and weight standard. A central circular medallion, enclosed by a beaded inner border, bears a multi-line Arabic inscription in elegant Maghrebi calligraphy identifying the coin as the Hassani coinage of fine quality, verified in weight according to the Meccan dirham standard. Arabic legends continue in the six outer triangular segments between the star points, framing the design. The overall composition is bold and geometric, characteristic of late 19th-century Moroccan milled coinage produced at the Paris Mint.

Aanvullende informatie

Moulay al-Hasan I spent much of his reign on horseback, conducting exhausting military expeditions — known as harkats — into the Moroccan interior to extract taxes and reassert makhzen authority over tribal confederations that had grown increasingly autonomous. The treasury demands of these campaigns directly shaped coinage policy, and the Paris and Birmingham mints both supplied striking capacity when the Fez mint could not keep pace.

His death in 1894 mid-harkat, discovered only after his body was secretly transported back to Rabat to prevent tribal revolt, effectively ended the last period of coherent pre-colonial Moroccan monetary independence.
