Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Anna - Faisal 1315 (1898) coin from Muscat and Oman is that it was one of the first coins to feature the portrait of a ruler, in this case, Faisal bin Turki, the Sultan of Oman from 1888 to 1913. This was a departure from the traditional design of coins in the region, which often featured abstract patterns or symbols. The inclusion of a portrait was a sign of the increasing influence of Western-style coinage and the desire to modernize the currency of Oman.
