Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Falus - Moulay Sulayman 1220 (1806) from Morocco made of Copper weighing 2.30 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of the Moroccan king, Moulay Sulayman, dressed in traditional Islamic attire, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with a crescent moon and star, which was a common motif in European heraldry at the time. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred between Morocco and Europe during the 19th century.
