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 with the Munassar countermark is a rare and valuable collector's item, and its silver content makes it a popular choice among numismatists.
