Interesting fact
The Qu'aiti Sultanate, which issued this coin, was a small state that existed in the southern part of Yemen from the 19th century until 1967. The sultanate was known for its rich cultural heritage, including its unique architecture, art, and literature. The coin , the ½ Anna - Munassar, was issued during the reign of Sultan Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Qu'aiti, who ruled the sultanate from 1881 until 1918. This coin was used as a means of payment for everyday transactions and was also used as a symbol of the sultanate's sovereignty.
