Muscat and Oman ¼ Anna - Faisal 1898 Rare Coin#C-130

Description

<th style="text-align: left;vertical-align: top;line-height:... Own a piece of Middle Eastern numismatic history with this exceptional Muscat and Oman ¼ Anna coin from 1898, minted during the reign of Sultan Faisal bin Turki (1888-1913). This rare circulation coin, dated 1315 in the Islamic Hijri calendar, represents a fascinating period when Muscat and Oman maintained its own coinage system distinct from British India. The ¼ Anna denomination (1/64th of a Rupee) showcases bilingual inscriptions in both Arabic and Latin scripts, reflecting the region's cultural and commercial heritage of that era. This coin is a highly sought-after collectible for serious numismatists interested in Arabian Peninsula history and colonial-era coinage. Its rarity stems from limited mintage and the historical significance of Faisal's reign, a transformative period for the sultanate. The piece exemplifies the craftsmanship of late 19th-century minting techniques and serves as tangible evidence of Oman's independent monetary authority before broader regional changes. Perfect for collectors of Islamic coins, Middle Eastern numismatics, or those building comprehensive collections of historical denominations, this item combines historical importance with genuine scarcity, making it an excellent addition to any serious collection. #
