Rabat – Viral pictures have offered a glimpse into the new 200 dirham banknote, set to be released by Morocco’s central bank, Bank Al-Maghrib.
The banknote shed light on Morocco’s development, including infrastructure.
On the front, the new MAD 200 banknote features the portrait of King Mohammed VI. It also shows an architectural detail inspired by Moroccan gates as well as the Mohammed VI bridge.
The other side of the banknote displays a view of the Mohammed VI Tower as well as the Marrakech Menara airport. The banknote also reflects digital and industrial development in Morocco.
The potential release of the new banknote comes after the issuance of a new series of banknotes as well as coins produced at the State Printing House.
The new releases revealed by Bank Al-Maghrib include a new MAD 100 banknote and coins denoting 10 centimes, 20 centimes, half a dirham, one dirham, five dirhams, and 10 dirhams.
The 100 dirham banknote reflects Morocco’s cultural heritage of the Sahara desert as well as the region’s economic achievement and the country’s openness to Africa.
Like the rest of Morocco’s banknotes, they also feature a picture of King Mohammed VI, and other details inspired by traditional Moroccan doors and the orange arches of the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca.
The note also features a view of Laayoune’s Meshwar Square and the highway connecting Tiznit to Dakhla.
