    That's older brother. Only made them '21 and '24 according to numista. They say the '24 has the "lightning bolt" but it's really a snake.

    Interesting coins. I like coins with two, or more, languages.

    Those morrocan coins look like a design off a slayer album cover. Very cool

    The 5 and 6-pointed stars are traditional symbols of the Moroccan monarchy.
    The 6-pointed star is associated with the Seal of Solomon, which is a religious
    and magical symbol in both Islam and Judaism. Morocco 4 Falus AH1289 = 1872.jpeg
    An earlier Moroccan flag had an 8-pointed star. Flag_of_Morocco_1258_1659.svg.png

    Is the lightning bolt (or snake) shown on your coin? I don't see it.
