In a historic move reflecting the cultural and linguistic diversity of the Kingdom of Morocco, the Moroccan Central Bank has announced the issuance of a new 250-dirham coin, featuring the Amazigh language for the first time on national currency.
This new coin comes as part of the celebration marking 25 years since King Mohammed VI ascended to the throne, commemorating the Beïa ceremony, one of the most important royal traditions in Morocco.
The inclusion of Amazigh on the coin is a significant symbolic step, reflecting the official recognition of the Amazigh language as a fundamental part of Moroccan national identity. This move comes as a continuation of a series of measures taken by the kingdom to enhance the status of this language in public life.
The new issue is expected to be widely welcomed by Moroccan citizens, especially the Amazigh who form a large proportion of the population. It may also attract interest from coin collectors internationally.
This step comes in the context of Morocco’s policy of cultural and linguistic openness, which aims to promote national cohesion and respect for the country’s cultural diversity.
With this issuance, Morocco has taken an additional step towards consolidating linguistic and cultural pluralism in its official institutions, enhancing its image as a country that respects and values its diverse heritage.
The introduction of Amazigh on the national currency is seen as a tangible manifestation of Morocco’s commitment to recognizing and preserving its multicultural identity, potentially setting a precedent for further inclusive measures in other areas of public life.
