<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 878562, member: 19165&quot;]I&#039;ll just go ahead and add future parts to this thread rather than making new threads as I had originally planned, since this seems to be a somewhat less than popular subject. </p><p><br /></p><p>With the death of his father Yusef, Mohammed V took the throne of Morocco. His reign was turbulent, as was his fathers, with increasingly frequent resistance to the French.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first series of coinage of Muhammed V is what I call the “classic silver”. These were 5, 10, and 20 franc coins issued in 1927 and 1933.&nbsp; The 1927 coinage (dates 1347 in the Hijrah calendar) has a much lower mintage, and is correspondingly difficult to locate in attractive condition. I had the most difficulty locating the 1347 10 franc coin, although the mintage of the 1347 20 franc coin is only 177,000 (compared to the rest of the mintages, which range from 1.6 to 5 million).&nbsp; These coins are very rarely found in Uncirculated condition.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The uniform design across the three denominations makes for a very attractive presentation. Notice the presence of the Rub el Hizb on the reverse that we discussed in Part 1 of this overview. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW527obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW527reverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;<img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW457obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW457reverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW579obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW579reverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW475obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW475reverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;<img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW531obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW531reverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW558obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW558reverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
