Morocco 1/2 and 1 Dirham (AH1299 to AH1314) 1881 to 1897

These silver coins come from the Moroccan Kingdom of Moulay al-Hasan I with dates AH1299 to AH1314. AH dates are Islamic Hijri dates which use a calendar based on when Mohammed lived, about 600 AD on the Gregorian calendar. The AH1299 to AH1314 dates correspond to 1881AD to 1897AD. The AH dates appear in Arabic numerals on the front of the coin.

Coins in excellent shape, like the half dirham in our primary picture, command decent collector value. Our secondary picture shows the reverse of a one dirham coin.
