Yusuf Rial (10 Dirhams) AH 1336 (1918)-(Pa) MS67 NGC, Paris mint, KM-Y33, Dav-51, Lec-198. A wonder coin for this usually underappreciated North African series, the selection at hand positively exudes breathtaking quality. Wheeling with cartwheel luster, both faces of the planchet showcase a stunning opalescent tone, turquoise, gold, and rosé highlights dominating the recesses of the fields. Unsurprisingly near the peak of certified quality for the date (only a single MS67+ at PCGS grades finer), and likely deserving of a "star" or "plus" designation. Ex. R.L. Lissner Collection (CNG-St. James's Auction 29, August 2014, Lot 646); Purchased from Spink in April 1980
