Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Falus coin is that it was issued during the reign of Tahmasp II Safavi, who was the Shah of Iran from 1722 to 1732. He was known for his military campaigns against the Ottoman Empire and for his efforts to modernize Iran's economy and infrastructure. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and religious influences of the time, and it is considered a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of Iran and the Safavid dynasty.
