Comments

Morocco's 1965 series arrived just three years after independence-era monetary restructuring consolidated the Banque du Maroc's authority over note issue — the French connection here is literal, not residual: the Banque de France printed this series under contract, a practical arrangement given Morocco's limited domestic printing infrastructure at the time. Pick 55 carries four distinct signature combinations across its issue dates, reflecting genuine institutional turnover at the top of the bank rather than routine administrative changes.

The pairing of Abdelkrim Lazrek with Prince Moulay Hassan Ben Medhdi El Alaovi is the most notable — a royal signatory on a central bank note is unusual and points to the Alaoui dynasty's direct presence in financial administration during this period.
