Comment
Unlisted type in Krause for AH1313Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Anna - Faisal 1313 (1896) coin from Muscat and Oman is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and colonial influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features an Arabic inscription that reads "Faisal 1313" (1896 in the Islamic calendar), while the reverse side features a depiction of a crowned shield with the British royal crest, reflecting Muscat and Oman's status as a British protectorate at the time. This blending of cultural and political influences makes the coin a fascinating piece of history.
