Where & when
What's on the note
Front: King Hassan II of Morocco (1929–1999), who reigned from 1961 to 1999 as the second monarch of independent Morocco. Son of King Mohammed V, he consolidated royal power and oversaw Morocco's Green March into Western Sahara in 1975. His portrait appears on the first series of dirham notes issued after decimalization in 1960, and he remained the primary figure on Moroccan currency throughout his 38-year reign.
Back: The Chellah (Sala Colonia), a medieval fortified Muslim necropolis located in Rabat, Morocco. Originally a Phoenician then Roman city of Sala, it was abandoned and later transformed into a royal necropolis under the Marinid dynasty in the 14th century. The site features monumental gates, minarets, and the ruins of a mosque and madrasa, and represents Morocco's layered history from ancient through Islamic periods.

Background & history
This is the 1970 issue of the Moroccan dirham, which replaced the Moroccan franc at a rate of 1 dirham = 100 francs in 1960. The 10 dirham denomination from this series was issued from 1970 and remained in circulation through the mid-1980s before being replaced by the 1985 series. The note features both Arabic and French text ('DIX DIRHAMS' and 'عشرة دراهم'), reflecting Morocco's bilingual administrative tradition. The dates '1970-1390' shown on the back reference both the Gregorian year 1970 and the Islamic Hijri year 1390. Serial number format 'BB 4 232696' follows Bank al-Maghrib's standard prefix-number convention. This series was printed during King Hassan II's consolidation of power following attempted coups in 1971-1972.
