<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 883146, member: 19165&quot;]These coins were all minted under the reign of Sultan Mohammed V, as were the previous part. In my collection, I have chosen to break the coins into four distinct sections according to the era in which they were minted. While Krause mixes them all up, if you arrange them by KM number, you will notice they fall into four blocks. This block was minted from 1945-1947 (AH1364-1366). The coins are dated in the Hijrah calendar I mentioned in the previous part. </p><p><br /></p><p>This third part is generally very similar in appearance to the previous part. The designs will look very familiar, with all of the same symbology. The main difference is now we have transitioned to base metals – either copper nickel, or an interesting aluminum brass alloy. This metal is generally unattractive, and when worn or toned, takes on a darker brownish color. Even uncirculated pieces like the 50 centimes and 1 franc shown here will tone brownish on the high points. </p><p><br /></p><p>These coins are not difficult to find if you are looking for average, circulated pieces (honestly, like most of mine here). However, if you are looking for choice uncirculated pieces, such as the 10 francs, it will be a test. Luster is generally rather weak on all of these pieces, so finding lustrous, well struck, spot free gems is going to be a challenge! Luckily, there are only six coins in this section. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW528obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW528reverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW553obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW553reverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW310obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW310reverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;<img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW464obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW464reverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW476obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW476reverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW314obverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk68/physicsfan/Morocco/JPW314reverse.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Stay tuned for the conclusion, part 4 - coming soon![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
