Comment
Note: Due to a shortage of small change, debased, unmilled imitations of Egyptian Qirsh (Piastre) KM#181, which had been produced outside of Sudan were brought into circulation in Darfur from AH1323-1325/1905-1907AD, privately struck in agreement with the Sultan.Interesting fact
The 1 Qirsh - Ali Dinar 1223 (1905) coin from Darfur (Sudan) made of Nickel brass was minted during a time of great change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Ali Dinar, who was the last ruler of the Darfur Sultanate, a kingdom that had been established in the 14th century. In 1905, the same year that this coin was minted, the Darfur Sultanate was annexed by the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium, marking the end of the Sultanate's independence. This coin is a tangible reminder of a pivotal moment in the history of the region.
