Interesting fact

The 1 Falus coin from Tabriz (Iranian Cities) made of Copper weighing 4.50g has a unique feature. It has a distinctive shape, known as a "heel-shaped" planchet, which was a common design element in ancient Persian coins. This shape was used to make the coin easier to stack and store, and it also made it harder for people to manipulate or counterfeit the coin. This feature, along with the coin's historical significance and rarity, makes it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
