Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Anna - Taimur (KM#3 Countermarked) 1315 (1913) coin from Muscat and Oman is that it features a unique countermark, which is a small stamp or marking that was added to the coin after it was minted. The countermark on this coin is the letters "KM" followed by a number, which stands for "Kingdom of Muscat and Oman" and indicates that the coin was issued during the reign of Sultan Taimur bin Feisal. This countermark was added to the coin to verify its authenticity and to distinguish it from other coins that were circulating in the region at the time.
