Hi,

This is clearly Moroccan... But:
- is it 2, 3 or 4 falus?
- especially, we can not find this type of coins in 1212 (AH of course)... So, perhaps 1272? But in 1272, it seems the mintmark shoud be clearly written above the date. Could it be a fake?

Its coin is in fact from Morocco and was cast in 1212 H, by Suleiman II (1209/1238 H), due to its weight and diameter its value would be that of 3 falus. No mint mark visible.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.
