Interesting fact
The ½ Falus coin from Morocco, issued during the reign of Sidi Mohammed III in 1191 (1777), is interesting because it was made of copper, a metal that was widely used in coinage during that time period. Copper was chosen for its durability, affordability, and resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal material for coins that were used frequently in everyday transactions. The fact that this coin was made of copper highlights the resourcefulness and practicality of the Moroccan mint during that time.
