Moulay Sulayman's reign saw Morocco in deliberate withdrawal from European entanglement — he closed several ports to foreign trade and rejected many of the commercial treaties his predecessors had negotiated. Small copper falus issues of this period were essentially domestic instruments, circulating in local markets with no pretense of international utility. The Alaoui monetary system relied heavily on silver for external exchange; copper was left to absorb the friction of daily commerce.
KM#Y2 is among the more modestly documented types in the Sherifian series, with strike quality varying considerably across surviving examples.
