Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sant - Ali II 1908 coin from Zanzibar (Tanzania) is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and colonial influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of Sultan Ali II, while the reverse side features a depiction of a dhow, a traditional Arab sailing vessel, along with the date 1908 and the name of the country in Arabic script. This blend of cultural elements reflects the rich history and cultural diversity of Zanzibar, which was a British protectorate at the time the coin was minted.
