Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Falus coin from Morocco is that it was minted during the reign of Sultan Sidi Mohammed IV, who ruled the country from 1859 to 1873. This coin was part of the first standardized coinage system introduced in Morocco, which aimed to replace the various local currencies that were in use at the time. The coin's design features the Sultan's name and title in Arabic, as well as the date of minting in the Islamic calendar. Despite being made of bronze, the coin was valued at a relatively high rate, with 2 Falus being equivalent to 1/4 of a Moroccan dirham.
