Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Falus coin is that it was minted during the reign of Abbas I Safavi, who was the fourth Safavid king of Iran and ruled from 1629 to 1642. The coin features an inscription with the king's name and title, as well as the mint location and date. The use of copper as the material for the coin was a common practice during this time period, as it was a readily available and affordable metal. Despite its relatively low value, the Falus coin remains a significant piece of Iranian history and a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
