Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Falus coin is that it was issued during the reign of Fat'h Ali Qajar, who was the second ruler 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 currency systems and the expansion of trade with Europe. The Falus coin was one of the coins introduced during his reign, and it was used as a standard circulation coin in Iran for many years.
