Interesting fact

The Qu'aiti Sultanate, which issued this coin, was a small state that existed in the southern part of 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 the sultanate's reign. It's made of copper and weighs 6.47 grams, which is relatively heavy for a coin of its size. This coin is a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of Yemen and the broader Middle East region.
