| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription in Maghrebi script occupying the entire field, typical of Alaoui dynasty hammered coinage. The text is arranged in horizontal registers across the flan, with the characteristic flowing strokes of the Moroccan chancellery hand. The flan is irregular and slightly concave, consistent with the hand-struck production technique of the Marrakesh mint in this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sidi Mohammed III undertook a deliberate monetary reform in the 1770s that standardized fractional silver across a fragmented currency system — the mazuna issues from Marrakesh represent the reformed secondary coinage that resulted. The Marrakesh mint was one of several simultaneously active under his reign, each distinguished by its own mint name in the inscription, which is the basis for the A32.3 attribution versus related types.
At under three-quarters of a gram, these circulated hard in a commercial economy where Moroccan ports were doing significant trade with European merchants, and attrition was severe.
