Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Anna - Faisal coin from Muscat and Oman is that it was minted during a time of great change and modernization in the country. In the late 19th century, Oman was undergoing rapid modernization under the rule of Sultan Faisal bin Turki, who introduced new technologies, infrastructure, and institutions. The coinage of the time reflects this period of transformation, with the introduction of new coinage systems and designs that were influenced by European styles. The ¼ Anna - Faisal coin, with its unique blend of traditional Islamic motifs and modern European influences, is a fascinating example of this historical intersection.
