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 the 18th century until 1967. The sultanate was known for its rich cultural heritage, including its unique architecture, art, and literature. The coin , which features the name "Munassar" on one side and the date 1307 (1890) on the other, is a rare example of the currency used during that time period. It's made of copper and weighs 6.14 grams, which is relatively heavy for a coin of its size. This coin is a valuable piece of history for collectors and historians interested in the Qu'aiti Sultanate and its numismatic legacy.
