Countermark: "Year 1307 - Munsir Al Dawla (State's Defender) bin Abdullah Al Qu'aiti"
Countermark Date: AH1307
Host Coin: British India - 1 Rupee (KM#473.1)

KM#33 doesn't specify the size of the countermark, however, from the picture in Krause it's a 15mm countermark, which makes this type an unlisted type

Interesting fact

The Qu'aiti Sultanate, which issued this coin, was a small state that existed in the southern part of Yemen from the 18th century until 1967. The sultanate was known for its rich cultural heritage, including its unique architecture, art, and literature. The 1 Rupee coin is a rare and valuable collector's item that reflects the history and culture of this fascinating region.
