Interesting fact

The Falus coin is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Muhammad al-Hajj ad-Dila'i, who was the ruler of the Idrisid dynasty in Morocco from 1060 to 1067. The Idrisid dynasty was known for its cultural and scientific achievements, and this coin is a reflection of that legacy. The coin's design features calligraphic inscriptions and intricate patterns that showcase the artistic skills of the time. Additionally, the fact that it was made of copper and weighs only 3.8 grams makes it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
