Moulay Ismail Ben SharifInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Falus - Isma'il coin from Morocco is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Ismail Ibn Sharif, who ruled Morocco from 1672 to 1727. During his reign, Ismail Ibn Sharif implemented many reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system, which included the Falus coin. The coin was made of copper and weighed 3.97 grams, and it was widely used in trade and commerce throughout Morocco and other parts of North Africa. Despite its age, the Falus - Isma'il coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
