Interesting fact
The Qu'aiti Sultanate, which issued this coin, was a small state that existed in the southern Arabian Peninsula, in what is now Yemen, from the 19th century until 1967. The sultanate was known for its rich cultural heritage, including its unique architecture, art, and literature. The coin , which features the name "Munassar" on one side and the date 1307 (1890) on the other, is a rare example of the currency used during that time period. It's made of copper and weighs 2.19 grams, which is relatively light for a coin of its size.
