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 ruler of the Qajar dynasty in Iran. He ruled from 1814 to 1825, and his reign was marked by political instability and foreign intervention. Despite these challenges, the Falus coin remained a popular form of currency during this time and was widely used in trade and commerce.
