Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of silver (.888) and weighed 3.09g, which was a significant departure from the standard coinage of the time, which was typically made of copper or bronze and had a much lower weight. This suggests that the Qu'aiti Sultanate was experimenting with different materials and designs for their coinage, possibly to address issues with counterfeiting or to create a more durable and valuable currency.
