Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Falus - Muhammed al-Yazid (Fes) 1204 (1790) from Morocco made of Bronze weighing 3.5 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Western influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of the Islamic crescent moon and star, while the reverse side bears the image of a crowned shield with a cross on top, which was a common motif in Western coinage during that time period. This blending of design elements reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between the Islamic world and Europe during the 18th century.
