Comment
Note: Due to the low denomination and little demand, this coin was only struck for a very short time, though varieties do exist.Interesting fact
The ½ Qirsh - Ali Dinar 1328 (1910) coin from Darfur (Sudan) made of Billon weighing 1.8 g is interesting because it is a rare example of a coin that was issued during the Anglo-Egyptian rule in Sudan, which lasted from 1899 to 1956. The coin features the image of a crowned effigy of King Ali Dinar, who was the last ruler of the Darfur Sultanate, and the inscription "Ali Dinar 1328" in Arabic. The coin's design and the use of Billon, a copper-silver alloy, were typical of coins issued during this period. It's a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in African and Middle Eastern coins.
