Here's a 1987 coin from Morocco that is part of my "World Coins Commemorating a Shared History with the US Collection." 1987 Morocco 200 Dirhams  The obverse (left) depicts a left-facing portrait of King Hassan II, the then-current King of Morocco; Hassan died on July 23, 1999 - he was succeeded by Mohammed VI. The obverse inscription behind Hassan II translates as "Moroccan-American Friendship Treaty" while the text in front of Hassan's portrait is simply "Hassan II." The reverse (right) presents a stylized 13-star US flag (current in 1787) and a stylized one-dtar flag of the United Kingdom of Morocco. The sun behind the two flags is meant to symbolize the "radiant friendship" between the two nations. On the coin's reverse, under the flag of Morocco, the parallel text to "In God We Trust" translates as "O you who believe, if you will aid (the cause of) Allah, He will aid you." To the right of "200" is the denomination "Dirhams" (translated).
