Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the region. The Qu'aiti Sultanate was one of several Yemenite states that emerged in the 19th century, and this coin was minted during the reign of Sultan Muhammad bin Thuwaini, who ruled from 1886 to 1902. The coin's design features a unique blend of Islamic and colonial influences, reflecting the complex cultural and political dynamics of the time.
