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.
