Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Falus coin from Morocco is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Western 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, which was a common motif in European heraldry. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred during the reign of Moulay Sulayman, who ruled Morocco during a time of great political and social change.
