| Additional information |
Sidi Mohammed III consolidated Moroccan monetary policy shortly after taking power in 1757, standardizing silver coinage across multiple mints as part of a broader administrative reorganization. Meknes — Miknas in Arabic — had served as the imperial capital under Moulay Ismail, and its mint retained political prestige long after the court shifted priorities. The attribution C#32.7 distinguishes this Meknes striking from stylistically similar issues of the same reign, mint-specific die characteristics being the primary differentiator across the series.
