Dans cette petite série, le revers est bombé (côté creux du moule) et porte la date qui peut être séparée par des chevrons ou pas. L'avers est le côté plat du moule et mentionne l'atelier de Tetouan.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Falus coin from Morocco 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, which was a common motif in European heraldry. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred in Morocco during the 18th century.
