Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Falus - Moulay Al-Hasan I (Fes) 1291-1299 (1874-1882) from Morocco made of Bronze weighing 5.77 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features an inscription in Arabic, while the reverse side features a depiction of a crowned shield with a crescent moon and star, which was a common motif in European heraldry. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Morocco and Europe during the late 19th century.
