Additional information

Moulay al-Hasan I ruled Morocco during a period of intense European pressure — France and Spain were steadily encroaching on Moroccan sovereignty, and the Makhzen's ability to maintain a functioning monetary system was itself a political act. The bronze falus coinage of this reign was struck at the Fez mint, one of the few remaining instruments of state the sultan could deploy to assert administrative coherence over a fragmenting economy increasingly flooded with foreign silver.

Production ran across multiple years with notable inconsistency in strike quality and flan preparation, making clean examples harder to find than mintage logic alone would suggest.
