100 Dirhams MAR Banknote (Modern Issue) 2025

100 Dirhams Moroccan Dirham (Issued 2025)

Morocco’s economy spans phosphate mining, tourism, textile manufacturing, and an increasingly prominent role as a hub for African trade and investment, all underpinned by the Moroccan Dirham as the nation’s circulating currency. The 2025 issue of the 100 Dirhams banknote from Bank Al-Maghrib arrives at a moment of considerable national ambition, with Morocco having secured co-hosting rights for the 2030 FIFA World Cup alongside Spain and Portugal. This note reflects that sporting and civic pride through its design language, blending contemporary imagery with the established authority of the central bank. It represents one of the most visually distinctive banknotes in current Moroccan circulation.

On the front, the dominant feature is an engraved portrait of King Mohammed VI of Morocco, rendered in fine intaglio work to the right-hand side of the note. The portrait is detailed and formal, showing the King in three-quarter profile facing left, with careful line engraving conveying depth and shading in the facial features, collar, and clothing. The background to the portrait carries a radiating geometric pattern of fine lines emanating outward, creating a sunburst-style guilloché field in pale yellow and grey tones. To the left of centre, a large modern football stadium is depicted in detailed architectural engraving, instantly recognisable as a grand bowl-shaped arena with a sweeping roof structure and tiered seating visible in the illustration. Above the stadium sits a striking iridescent security element — a holographic foil device in deep violet and magenta depicting a football or spherical motif with a star, which shifts in colour depending on the viewing angle. The denomination numerals “100” appear prominently in the lower left in bold yellow and grey tones, while Arabic script at the top reads “بنك المغرب” (Bank Al-Maghrib) alongside “مائة درهم” (One Hundred Dirhams). The date 1447–2025 appears vertically along the left margin, referencing both the Hijri and Gregorian calendars. A serial number, “ك04م920582”, is printed in dark ink in the upper left corner and repeated vertically along the right edge in red. The Moroccan royal coat of arms appears on the front, and two authorising signatures are visible beneath the Arabic text at the upper centre. The paper carries a watermark visible when held to the light, and a security thread runs vertically through the note. The overall colour palette of the front is a refined combination of steel grey, soft yellow, and white, with the holographic patch providing the principal colour accent.

The reverse presents a bold, colourful composition centred on football and international unity. A large architectural engraving of the same modern stadium occupies the right-centre of the note, rendered in fine grey line work with seating rows and roof canopy clearly delineated. To the left, a stylised illustration of the African continent is shown in warm reddish-orange tones, surrounded by a constellation of multicoloured five-pointed stars in red, green, blue, and gold, evoking the nations participating in international football. Overlaid across the lower-centre of the note are silhouetted figures of football players in dynamic motion — running, kicking, and celebrating — printed in amber, green, and orange tones, giving the design energy and movement. The issuer name “BANK AL-MAGHRIB” is printed in Latin script across the upper centre, accompanied by a decorative Tifinagh-script rendering above it, reflecting Morocco’s Amazigh cultural heritage. The denomination “100 DIRHAMS” appears in the lower right in bold dark type alongside a smaller numeral “100” in the lower left, inverted for ease of identification. A small emblem and bilingual inscription in Arabic and French appear in the lower centre of the reverse. The background field of the reverse uses a light, multi-toned guilloché pattern in pale yellow and green, giving the note visual depth while maintaining legibility across all printed elements.
