Commentary


La perplexité est totale quant à cette frappe qui utilise le coin de revers de la 10 mouzounas de Moulay Yussef en bronze, frappée en AH 1330. Il est probable, compte tenu du métal, qu’il s’agisse d’une frappe d’hommage.
Selon Jean Le Floch, cet essai n’a pas été réalisé à Poissy, qui frappera pourtant pour partie ce type, mais à la Monnaie de Paris : Poissy n’avait pas l’autorisation de frapper en métaux précieux. En revanche, Jean-Pierre Mallet fait remarquer qu’existent des essais en or et argent, frappés à Poissy, au type de l’Hercule, pour Monaco, émissions de 1924 en 50 centimes, 1 franc et 2 francs : rien n’exclut donc que cette 10 mouzounas en argent ait bien été frappée à Poissy. Toutes les hypothèses restent donc ouvertes, les archives de l’atelier de Poissy ayant disparu.
There is total perplexity regarding this strike, which uses the reverse die of the bronze 10 mouzounas of Moulay Yussef, struck in AH 1330. It is likely, given the metal, that this is a tribute strike. According to Jean Le Floch, this test was not carried out in Poissy, which will nevertheless partly strike this type, but at the Paris Mint: Poissy did not have the authorization to strike in precious metals. On the other hand, Jean-Pierre Mallet points out that gold and silver tests exist, struck in Poissy, in the Hercules type, for Monaco, issues of 1924 in 50 centimes, 1 franc and 2 francs: nothing therefore excludes the possibility that this 10 silver mouzounas was indeed struck in Poissy. All hypotheses therefore remain open, the archives of the Poissy workshop having disappeared

Historical background


MOROCCO - ALAOUITES - MOULAY YOUSSEF

When Moulay Abdul Aziz I ascended the throne, he faced infighting among the tribes and rising penetration by the great powers. The two main players who found themselves in competition were the French and the Germans. In 1904, France, which wanted to secure the western border of Algeria, agreed with the English and the Spaniards for the sharing of this region. Guillaume II landed in 1905 in Tangier in order to guarantee the independence of the Cherifian state. The international crisis was settled in Algeciras in 1906 and placed Morocco under European control. France nevertheless continued its military penetration of the country and established a protectorate over the Makhzen. In 1909, she signed a convention in which she recognized the economic interests of Germany. The most serious crisis was to break out in 1911 with the intervention of the gunboat Panther in Agadir. The crisis was resolved by territorial compensation between France and Germany in Africa. On March 30, 1912, the French imposed the protectorate on the Sultan.
