Provenance: Fuchin Coin 2020

This is a silver coin with a denomination of 5 dirhams, issued in AH 1311 (AD 1913) by Morocco, which at the time was a French protectorate located in North Africa.

The obverse of the coin features a six-pointed star, within which is a circular field inscribed with Arabic script indicating the issuing authority and denomination: “نصف ريال يوسفي شريف”, meaning “Half riyal issued by Yousuf Sharif.” Yousuf Sharif refers to the then-ruling monarch of Morocco, who ascended the throne in AD 1912. Encircling the star from the one o’clock position counter-clockwise is a benedictory inscription in Arabic: “محفوف بالسعادة و اليمن و الإقبال والعز المبين,” which translates as “Surrounded by happiness, good fortune, prosperity, and manifest glory.”

The reverse of the coin features a double solid circle at the centre, within which is inscribed the Hijri date and minting location: “1311 اختير ضربه بباريز عام,” meaning “Struck in Paris in the year AH 1311.” On either side of the central motif are multiple diamond-shaped emblems symbolising the Moroccan royal authority. The upper edge bears the inscription “فيه خمسة دراهم فخرية,” which translates as “Contains five honorary dirhams,” indicating a ceremonial or symbolic denomination. The lower edge features the authoritative phrase “لضبط الحقوق المرعية,” meaning “To uphold the established and recognised rights.”

Since AD 1631, the Alaouite dynasty—claiming descent from ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib—established its rule over the region of Morocco. By the early 20th century, Morocco had come under increasing pressure from European powers, particularly France and Spain. On March 30, AD 1912, the Treaty of Fes was signed, placing Morocco under French protection, while its northern and southern territories were ceded to Spanish control. It was not until AD 1956 that Morocco regained its independence and emerged once again as a sovereign nation, free from French and Spanish colonial rule.

這是一枚回曆1311年 (公元1913年)，位於北非且淪為法國保護國的摩洛哥所發行的面額5迪拉姆銀幣。

錢幣正面有一枚六芒星，星星內的圓圈打印阿拉伯銘文，標示統治者和硬幣的面額為「نصف ريال يوسفي شريف」(優素福·謝里夫發行的  ½里亞爾)。優素福·謝里夫為時任摩洛哥統治者，於公元1912年登基。六芒星的外圍自一點鐘方向逆時針環繞，其銘文為祝福的禱詞「محفوف بالسعادة و اليمن و الإقبال والعز المبين」意思是「被幸福、吉祥、順遂與顯赫榮耀所環繞」。

錢幣背面的正中央是雙重實心圓，圓內打印發行的回曆年份和鑄造地點「1311 اختير ضربه بباريز عام」(回曆1311年，此錢幣鑄造於巴黎)。錢幣的左右兩側以象徵摩洛哥王室的多重菱形圖騰作為分界，上緣打印面額「فيه خمسة دراهم فخرية」(面值榮譽的5迪拉姆)，下緣則是標示權威的銘文「لضبط الحقوق المرعية」意思是「以維護既有合法權利之秩序」。

自公元1631年起，自稱是阿里後裔的阿拉維王室便在摩洛哥地區建立自身的統治。時序進入公元20世紀初，摩洛哥受到法國和西班牙兩股列強勢力的壓力。於公元1912年3月30日簽訂《費茲條約》後，淪為法國的保護國，其北部和南部的領土則被轉讓予西班牙。公元1956年，摩洛哥方才脫離法國和西班牙的統治重新成為獨立的國家。
