Piéforts are deliberately struck at double (or greater) thickness as presentation or pattern pieces, intended for archive sets or for submission to issuing authorities during the approval process — not for circulation. Morocco's 1925 coinage was produced under the French Protectorate, with Paris handling die work and striking. Lec#206d identifies this as an aluminium-bronze essai piéfort variant within Lecompte's classification of Moroccan colonial issues, a series where the distinctions between essai, piéfort, and piéfort essai are often misapplied in the secondary market.
