Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Falus coin from Morocco is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "Moulay Sulayman" 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 elements reflects the rich history and diversity of Morocco during the time period in which the coin was minted.
