Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Falus coin from Samarqand is that it was used as a form of currency during the Mongol Empire, which was the largest contiguous empire in history. The coin's design and materials were influenced by the Mongol's conquests and trade routes, which stretched from China to Eastern Europe.
