Moroccan coin found in change

1 Attachment(s)

Hi,

I found a coin very much like the attached picture in change today. The only difference is that mine was minted in 1366 AH (1952 I think). Does anyone know what it's worth? I'm hoping it's worth at least .50.

This page

http://numis.marseille.free.fr/maroc.htm

lists one in TTB condition for sale at 7 Euros, and one in "ESSAI - 1.100 EX. SUP/FDC" at 80 Euros, which is quite a lot of money in American Pesos.

Well if anything is worth anything in Moroccan coins it would be the AH1370 100 francs coin minted in silver. Krause says that 10 million of these coins were minted, But now almost all the silver coins were melted, only 100 are known today.
