Falus - Sidi Mohammed IV 1st Standard, without mint name

Sidi Mohammed IV came to the throne in 1859, immediately inheriting the consequences of the Tetuan War with Spain — a conflict that ended in 1860 with the Treaty of Wad-Ras, which imposed a crippling indemnity of 20 million duros on Morocco. The financial strain forced rapid monetary reorganization, and these anonymous bronze falus pieces, carrying no mint attribution, reflect the chaotic state of Moroccan coinage production in the early 1860s as the Makhzen struggled to maintain even basic monetary infrastructure.

The absence of a mint name on KM#160.1 is not an oversight — multiple facilities struck to this standard simultaneously, and attribution remains unresolved for most examples.
