On August 21, 2026, Bank Al-Maghrib, Morocco's central bank, issued a commemorative coin to mark the 63rd birthday of King Mohammed VI. The coin, with a face value of 250 dirhams, is made of silver and features the King's portrait on the obverse side, along with the royal crown and the inscription 'Mohammed VI' in Arabic and French.
The reverse side displays the map of Morocco and the dates '1963-2026', symbolizing the King's birth year and the current year. The coin is part of a limited edition of 3,000 pieces, available for purchase at Bank Al-Maghrib's counters and authorized exchange offices.
This issuance follows a tradition of commemorative coins for significant royal occasions. The central bank has previously released coins for the King's 60th and 65th birthdays, as well as for other national events. The coin aims to celebrate the King's reign and his contributions to the nation's development.
Collectors and numismatists have shown interest in the coin, which is expected to become a sought-after item. The coin's design was created by Moroccan artists and approved by the Royal Mint. It is legal tender but primarily intended for collection purposes.
