Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Moroccan 2 Falus coin from 1822 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 cultural influences reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred between Morocco and Europe during the 19th century.
