Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin ¼ Anna - Faisal 1312-1313 (1894-1895) from Muscat and Oman made of Copper weighing 6.6 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and colonial influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features the name of the ruler, Faisal, in Arabic script, while the reverse side features the denomination and the date in both Islamic and Gregorian calendars. This blend of styles reflects the historical context of Muscat and Oman during the late 19th century, when the country was under the influence of both Islamic and colonial powers.
