Under Moulay al-Hassan I, [[Morocco]] began production of milled coinage. Silver weights were standardized to a degree not obtainable in previous years. The denominations were changed to mazunas and dirhams, with one dirham = fifty mazunas. The 'crown' denomination was one rial, which was equal to 10 dirhams. Starting from the time of al-Hassan I, the ruler was honored on the coins not directly by name, but by an word or expression that alluded to him.

Shown is a silver half dirham from the Paris mint. The date is AH 1299, or 1882 AD.
