Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Anna - Faisal (with border) 1312 (1895) 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 the name of the ruler, Faisal, in Arabic script, while the reverse side features the denomination and date in both Arabic and Roman numerals, surrounded by a decorative border. This blend of styles reflects the historical context in which the coin was minted, during a time when the Ottoman Empire was exerting its influence over the region.
