Portia's father kept the three caskets as a test to find the right suitor for her. Gold, Silver and lead are the 3 different options and the correct casket contains a picture of Portia.
Gold casket contained the inscription “ Who choose the me shall get what many men desire”
Silver casket has the inscription – “ Who chooseth me shall get what he deserves”
Lead casket contains the inscription “ Who chooseth me shall give and hazard all he hath “.
Bassanio plays smartly ignoring the golden and silver caskets as superficial. He goes by the subtle hints given by Portia and chooses lead casket.

The three caskets were designated for the suitors and they had to correctly predict the location of the items inside them.
Accurate answer would help them to win over the hearts of the girl.
Prince of Morocco was one of the principal suitor as he looked not only dashing but also witty and smart to a great extent.
