Moroccan 1 Franc Coin (AH 1340 / 1921-1924)

This item is a circular Moroccan 1 Franc coin, minted during the French Protectorate era, likely dating between AH 1340 and 1343 (roughly 1921–1924). The coin is struck in a silver-colored metal, typically a copper-nickel alloy for this specific denomination. The obverse features an ornate, geometric design characteristic of Islamic art, showcasing a central six-pointed star (Seal of Solomon) containing the denomination '1 FRANC' in Latin script and 'فـرنك' in Arabic script. Surrounding the central star is intricate arabesque filigree and scrollwork filling the remaining field. The condition appears well-circulated; there is visible softening of the high-relief details, particularly in the fine patterned areas, and a noticeable dark patina or grime accumulated in the recessed lines. There is a small area of localized dark staining or oxidation near the 3 o'clock position on the inner rim. The edges show minor wear consistent with age and utility. The craftsmanship reflects the sophisticated blend of French mintage standards and traditional Moroccan ornamental aesthetics from the early 20th century.
