Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Falus - Moulay al-Hasan I 1306-1310 (1889-1893) from Morocco made of Bronze weighing 2.88 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features an Arabic inscription, while the reverse side features a depiction of a crowned shield with a crescent moon and star, which was a common motif in European heraldry. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Morocco and Europe during the late 19th century.
