Unlike dirhams and dinars of the Umayyad Caliphate, falus were more than often not restricted to official designs and styles. Because of this, different cities and different localities produced their own falus types, and varieties are plentiful. The city of Al-Mawsil (Mosul) serves as an important exemplar of this phenomenon, and the author of this classic numismatic study attempts to explore the many various types of falus designs issued by the local government.
