When Mohammed V came to the throne in AH 1346 (1927 AD), he changed the title of ruler to that of king rather than sultan. During the first part of his tenure, Morocco was still officially split between the protectorates of France and Spain, though the Kingdom of Morocco became fully independent in 1956 (except for some Spanish enclaves along the north coast). Coinage during the protectorate period included the legend in French 'EMPIRE CHERIFIEN' and denominations were centimes and francs.
Shown is a one franc coin from the Paris mint (no privy marks), dated AH 1370 (1951 AD). This is a 'one-year' type, though the date was frozen and the coin struck until 1974.
Recorded mintage: 33,000,000.
Specifications: aluminum.
Catalog reference: KM Y46.
