Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Falus coin is that it was issued during the reign of Nasir al-Din Shah Qajar, who was the Shah of Iran from 1848 until his death in 1896. During his reign, Iran underwent significant modernization and reform, including the introduction of new currency and banking systems. The Falus coin was one of the new currency denominations introduced during this time, and it was used widely throughout the country for everyday transactions. Despite its relatively small size and weight, the coin played an important role in the economy of Iran during this period.
