Interesting fact
The Falus coin was issued during the reign of Naser al-Din Qajar, who was the Shah of Iran from 1848 to 1896. This coin was part of a series of coins that were introduced during his reign to replace the old currency system, which was based on the silver tanka. The Falus coin was made of copper and had a value of 1/4 tanka. It was widely used in Iran during that time and is still considered a valuable collector's item today.
