Coins of Moroccocoins of the Alaouite Kingdom, from Hassan I to Mohammed VI

Morocco's coinage reflects over a century of transformation — from the hand-struck bronze falus of Sultan Hassan I to the modern commemorative dirhams of Mohammed VI. The Alaouite dynasty, which has ruled since the 17th century, produced coins that are both artistically rich and historically layered.

The French Protectorate era (1912–1956) introduced machine-struck coinage while preserving Arabic inscriptions and Islamic dating, creating a unique hybrid numismatic tradition found nowhere else in the Arab world.

Morocco is the only Arab country that was never part of the Ottoman Empire. Its coinage tradition is distinctly Alaouite, with Hijri dates and the Star of David (Seal of Solomon) appearing on pre-protectorate issues — a symbol of the Moroccan monarchy, not a religious emblem.
