Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Falus - Isma'il (Rabat al-Fath; countermarked) 1102 (1691) coin from Morocco is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Ismail Ibn Sharif, who ruled Morocco from 1672 to 1727. This coin was part of a series of coins that were issued to celebrate the Sultan's military victories and were stamped with a countermark, which is a secondary marking or symbol that was added to the coin after it was minted. The countermark on this coin is the name "Rabat al-Fath," which means "Victory of Rabat," and refers to the Sultan's victory in the Battle of Rabat in 1691. This coin is a rare and valuable example of Moroccan numismatic history.
