Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Moulay 'Abd al-Rahman, who was the second king of the 'Alawi dynasty in Morocco. He ruled from 1835 to 1853 and his reign was marked by significant political and economic reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system, which included the Falus coin. The coin was made of bronze and weighed 4.7 grams, and it was widely used in Morocco during that time period.
