I was browsing on the internet about Moroccan coins and I chose you
first...could you please tell me what's the current value of the attached coins?
Thanks and regards,

Answer Hi Marcello, there were 2 types of these large gold 50 Dirham coins featuring king Hassan (1962-99) minted that year. One with the national arms on the back and the other with a hand symbolizing International Women's Year. The first had a mintage of only 40 and the second of only 20. They both contain 1.7404 of an ounce of gold. There may not be that much collector demand to give much premium above their gold value though.
You may find similar pieces on Ebay.com for comparison.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
