Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 3 Falus - Moulay Sulayman (Essaouira; type 2) 1215 (1801) from Morocco made of Bronze weighing 10.58 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Al-Sultan al-Wathiq Billah" (The Sultan who trusts in God) 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 rich history and diversity of Morocco during the time period in which the coin was minted.
