| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features the Arabic inscription 'Muscat' at top within a beaded inner circle, with the AH date ٣١٤ (1314) below, and the denomination '1/4 ANNA' in two lines at the base. A continuous Latin legend reading 'SAYYID FAISAL BIN TURKI' encircles the central device along the outer border, separated by a small star at top. The overall design is plain and functional, characteristic of late 19th-century colonial-influenced coinage of the Sultanate. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription in the central field, reading the full name and titles of the ruler Faisal bin Turki, Sultan of Muscat and Oman, arranged in five lines within an ornate wreath of leafy branches tied at the base. The wreath border is finely detailed with stylized foliage, lending the coin a dignified and ceremonial character consistent with the dynastic coinage of the Al Bu Said sultanate. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Muscat and Oman occupied an unusual position in late 19th-century Gulf monetary affairs — formally sovereign yet deeply entangled with British Indian commercial networks. This copper fraction circulated alongside Maria Theresa thalers and Indian rupees, none of which the sultanate officially controlled. Faisal bin Turki, who reigned from 1888 until 1913, struck these annas partly to assert administrative presence in Muscat's bazaars, where British Indian coinage had effectively become the default medium of exchange.
KM#10.1 distinguishes this variety by the two-line rendering of the denomination, a detail that separates it from related issues in the series.
