Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Sant coin from Zanzibar (Tanzania) is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and African influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears an image of Sultan Ali II, while the reverse side features a depiction of a dhow, a traditional Arab sailing vessel, along with the coin's denomination and year of issue. This blend of cultural elements reflects Zanzibar's rich history as a trading hub and cultural melting pot, and makes the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
