Interesting fact
The Qu'aiti Sultanate (Yemenite States) 1 Rupee coin from 1307 (1890) is interesting because it was made of silver (.917) and weighs 11.64g, which was a significant deviation from the standard weight of 1 rupee coins at the time, which was typically 10.80g. This suggests that the Qu'aiti Sultanate may have been experimenting with different metallic compositions and weights for their coins during this period.
