Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Falus coin from Morocco, minted during the reign of Moulay Al-Hasan I in 1297 (1880), is that it was made of bronze, a metal that was widely used for coinage in the 19th century due to its durability and low cost. Despite its relatively small weight of 7.06 grams, the coin still maintained a significant value in the Moroccan economy at the time.
