Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Falus - Moulay Sulayman (Asfi) 1231 (1816) coin from Morocco is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the inscription "Al-Sultan al-Wahhab" (The Giving Sultan) in Arabic, while the reverse side features 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 influences that occurred between Morocco and Europe during the 19th century.
