The Gregorian (western) year 1945 is Islamic year 1364, and the Gregorian year 1951 is Islamic year 1370. In both these years Morocco issued 1 and 2 franc coins with a 5-pointed star on one side and the denomination on the other side. A one-half franc (50 centimes) coin was also issued with the same pattern. Empire Cherifien is an old term used for the French Protectorate of Morocco.
