Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Falus coin is that it was minted during the reign of Fat'h Ali Qajar, who was the second Shah of the Qajar dynasty in Iran. He ruled from 1797 until his death in 1834, and his reign saw significant political and economic changes in Iran, including the introduction of new coinage systems and the expansion of trade and commerce. The Falus coin, which was minted in the city of Kirmanshah in western Iran, is a rare and valuable example of the coinage from this period, and it is highly sought after by collectors today.
