Interesting fact

The Qu'aiti Sultanate, which issued this coin, was a small state that existed in the southern part of present-day Yemen from 1858 to 1918. The sultanate was known for its rich agricultural land and its production of high-quality coffee, which was exported to other parts of the world. The coinage of the Qu'aiti Sultanate is highly sought after by collectors today, and this particular coin, with its unique design and historical significance, is a valuable addition to any collection.
