Minted between 1672–1901, denominations of 1⁄4, 1⁄2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 falus are recorded in the Standard Catalogue.[1]
Identification edit
They are typically denominated by size rather than by inscription, and can be difficult to identify precisely.[original research?]
Depreciation edit
From 1862, the falus was allowed to float, while the exchange rate for the silver dirham was fixed: this resulted in currency speculation and depreciation, with effectively two parallel currencies.[2]
