| Additional information |
Dakhla is a city in Western Sahara, a territory disputed between Morocco and the Polisario Front-backed Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. Coins issued under the Dakhla name occupy a legal grey zone — they circulate nowhere and are produced for the collector market, leveraging the unresolved sovereignty question to generate a nominally "local" issue. The dual denomination pairing of Moroccan pesetas with Saharan dirhams reflects that ambiguity precisely: neither unit is the actual currency in use there, which is the Moroccan dirham administered by Rabat.
