Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil 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 a period of political instability and conflict. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the people who created it.
