Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Falus coin from Morocco is that it was issued during the reign of Moulay Sulayman, who was the Sultan of Morocco from 1798 to 1803. This coin was part of a series of coins that were minted during his reign, and it features an image of the Sultan on one side and an Islamic inscription on the other. The use of the Sultan's image on the coin was a departure from previous Moroccan coins, which had typically featured only Islamic inscriptions. This change in design was likely intended to promote the image of the Sultan as a powerful and benevolent leader, and to reinforce his authority over the country.
