Usually it is easier to identify a €-coin than an older Moroccan Falus, but there is much more fun with the latter ones.  :D
But at some of them fun turns into pain ...

Can anybody help me with this piece? It is by far the largest and heaviest piece in my collection (18 g, 33.5 - 36.2 mm).

I probably got it now:

Moulay Sulayman
6 Falus
no date
no mint
obv octogram around quadrilobe
rev large dot in seal of Salomon
Eustache # 657 (not listed variant with pearls between two circles on obverse)

If I got it correct it is - according to Benziane - RR ...

Any correction or confirming is welcome!

Sorry, can't help you any further with a definite attribution.
But this sure is a nice heavyweight, with the Solomon seal almost transformed into a rosebud.

Thanks! Perhaps it is not "nice" in an aesthetic meaning ...  ;)
