Interesting fact

The Pattern 2 Falus was a trial coin minted in 1902 for the Moroccan Sultan Abd al-Aziz, and it features a unique blend of Arabic and Berber influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin depicts the sultan's name and title in Arabic, while the reverse side features a stylized Berber motif and the date in the Islamic calendar. This coin is a rare example of the cultural fusion that characterized the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Morocco, and it is highly sought after by collectors today.
