Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Falus - Moulay Sulayman (Tetuan) 1211-1230 (1797-1815) from Morocco made of Bronze weighing 3.53 g 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 cultural elements reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred during the reign of Moulay Sulayman, who ruled Morocco during a time of great political and social change.
