Mazuna - Sidi Mohammed III 2nd Standard, Marrakesh

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.
