Falus - Abu Muhammad Abd Allah Al-Ghalib 2nd Standard

Abd Allah al-Ghalib ruled the Saadian Sultanate from 1557 to 1574, consolidating power after years of dynastic infighting that had destabilized the dynasty following Ahmad al-Araj's removal. The falus was the lowest denomination in circulation, struck in copper for everyday market transactions while silver dirhams and gold dinars moved through elite commerce. Saadian copper coinage from this reign is poorly documented in Western numismatic literature, and surviving examples tend to be poorly preserved — the alloy used was susceptible to corrosion in the humid Atlantic coastal environment of Marrakesh.
