How much is the french maroc 1370 5 franc worth?

Answer 1

You are asking about a 20 Franc coin from Morocco (Y#50). It is made of aluminum-bronze and measures 23.8mm in diameter. The front has a five-pointed star, with designes and Arabic writing surrounding it, and the date "1371" below it (the date refers to the Muslim calendar - it corresponds to 1952 AD). The back has the denomination - "20 FRANCS" - in the center, with "MAROC" (French for "Morocco") above. There are also Arabic words below both the country and denomination - I presume that these are simply the Arabic translations, but I am not positive. It was aone-year type (that is, this design was only produced in the year 1371 AH) issued under the reign of King Mohammed V. 20,000,000 of such coins were produced, all by the Paris mint.

According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, and example is worth US$0.25 in Fine condition, US$0.50 in Very Fine condition, US$1.00 in Extremely Fine condition, and US$4.00 in Uncirculated condition.

Answer 2

these sell for a few US dollars at the most. Usually less than $1 US.

First, the composition is aluminum bronze, not gold. So all these coins, no matter what denomination (5, 10, 20, or 50 frances) are made out of base metal and do not carry any bullion value.

Second, the 1371 date is the Mohammedan Hejiradate. These dates are annotated using the abbreviation AH (Anno Hegirae), starting when Mohamed was alive around 622 AD. Converting 1371 to a Western date, factoring in that Mohammedan years have 354 days, you get 1951.

Third, Morocco has been issuing these coins with the 1371 date for years and years, so we don't really know the actual date of the coin.

You have an interesting item, to be sure. It's just not very valuable.
