According to various sources, Morocco is expected to issue a 50-dirham note next week. The new note will be to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the central bank. This will be the first time a commemorative banknote has been issued in Morocco.
The reverse side depicts the Bank Al-Maghrib building in Rabat, while the front shows portraits of kings Mohammed VI, Hassan II and Mohammed V. The kings also appear on a holographic stripe. The crown on top left corner was printed with ink that changes color depending on the angle of view.
