Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Falus - Moulay Sulayman (Tetuan) 1219 (1805) coin from Morocco is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Moulay Sulayman" in Arabic script, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with a crescent moon and star, which was a common motif in European heraldry. This blending of cultural elements reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred between Morocco and Europe during the 19th century.
