Commentary


Cette frappe est inédite en laiton. Par ailleurs, Lecompte signale une frappe médaille. Il s’agit ici d’une très étrange frappe à 7h qui se rapproche donc plus d’une frappe monnaie.
Nous avons souvent inversé les illustrations du livre de Jean Lecompte avers/revers car le Maroc étant un protectorat, la puissance émettrice, théoriquement placée à l’avers, est le roi du Maroc et non la République française.
Pour cette pièce, qui ne mentionne pas de statut politique particulier ni n’utilise le système inspiré de celui des Français (qui n’apparaît qu’en 1339 A.H., on devrait certainement placer à l’avers le nom et les titres du roi. On notera que dans ce cas l’avers porte également la valeur faciale, le revers une autre expression de la valeur faciale, le lieu et l’année de frappe.
Malheureusement, entre les intentions des responsables marocains, l’exécution par la Monnaie de Paris (nous avons vu que l’auteur des coins ne connaissait pas la langue arabe) et les traditions locales éventuellement différentes, il est très difficile de trancher.
This strike is unprecedented in brass. Furthermore, Lecompte reports a medal strike. This is a very strange strike at 7 o'clock which is therefore closer to a coin strike. We have often reversed the illustrations in Jean Lecompte's book obverse/reverse because Morocco being a protectorate, the issuing power, theoretically placed on the obverse, is the king of Morocco and not the French Republic. For this coin, which does not mention any particular political status nor use the system inspired by that of the French (which only appears in 1339 AH), the name and titles of the king should certainly be placed on the obverse. It should be noted that in this case the obverse also bears the face value, the reverse another expression of the face value, the place and year of strike. Unfortunately, between the intentions of the Moroccan officials, the execution by the Paris Mint (we have seen that the author of the dies did not know Arabic) and the possibly different local traditions, it is very difficult to decide

Historical background


MOROCCO - FRENCH PROTECTORATE

1912-1956

Morocco opened up to European trade at the end of the 18th century. The country remained divided in the 19th century between French influence (bombardment of Tangier and Mogador), British and Spanish and became a stake in the rivalry of its powers, to which Germany joined in 1905. The incident of Agadir in 1911 is regulated by the negotiation between France and Germany which accepts the French protectorate on Morocco against a band of territory in Congo. Lyautey, resident general, pacifies the country while the High Atlas resists until 1934. Following major works, the country is quickly transformed but France increasingly imposes its direct administration without taking into account the protectorate. Nationalism then continued to gain ground and the defeat of 1940 led to increasingly large demonstrations..
