Falus - Zaydan al-Nasir Fes

Zaydan al-Nasir's reign was defined by near-constant civil war against his brothers following the fragmentation of the Sa'adian dynasty after Ahmad al-Mansur's death in 1603. He controlled Fes only intermittently — the city changed hands multiple times during the succession conflict — which makes attributing any bronze falus to a specific moment of his authority genuinely difficult. Low-denomination copper struck at Fes during this period circulated in conditions of political chaos, with competing claimants issuing their own coinage from the same mint in overlapping years.
