Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Falus - Abou Abbas Ahmed al-Mansour (1st Standard) 986-994 (1578-1586) from Morocco made of Copper weighing 1.6 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Moroccan design elements. The coin's obverse side features a calligraphic inscription of the coin's denomination in Arabic, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the Moroccan flag, which was not officially adopted until 1912. This blend of traditional Islamic design and modern national symbols reflects the rich cultural heritage of Morocco during the 16th century.
