Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Falus - Moulay Sulayman (Rabat) 1230 (1815) 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 "Moulay Sulayman" in Arabic script, 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 design elements reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Morocco and Europe during the 19th century.
