Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Anna - Faisal (without border) 1312 (1895) coin from Muscat and Oman is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage in the region at that time. The use of copper for coins was not only cost-effective but also durable, ensuring that the coins could withstand the wear and tear of daily use. Additionally, the coin's design, which features a portrait of Faisal, the ruler of Muscat and Oman, and the lack of a border, sets it apart from other coins of the time, making it a unique piece of numismatic history.
