    The fields of the sheet are decorated with symbolic images of the achievements of the reign of King Mohammed VI*, including Tarfaya** - a wind farm in the north of Western Sahara.

    Additional:

    *Mohammed VI (born 21 August 1963) is the King of Morocco. He is a member of the Alaouite dynasty and ascended to the throne on 23 July 1999 upon the death of his father, King Hassan II.

    **In 2013, in the north of Western Sahara, the implementation of one of the most ambitious decisions of King Mohammed VI began - the construction of a wind power station, which later received the title as one of the largest in Africa.

    Built in just two years and launched in 2015, the Tarfaya complex stretches more than 100 square km across the Saharan desert, its 131 wind turbines grinding out enough electricity to power a city the size of Marrakech every day.
