| Additional information |
Moulay Sulayman's reign was marked by a deliberate withdrawal from European commercial entanglement — he closed several Atlantic ports to foreign trade and suppressed the inland markets that his predecessors had cultivated. The falus, a fiduciary copper struck for local petty exchange, circulated in that increasingly inward economy. The Tetuan mint operated intermittently, and dies cut there show noticeably cruder workmanship than contemporary Fes or Marrakesh production, a variation significant enough to warrant the distinct KM subcategory.
