Muscat and Oman under Faisal bin Turki maintained a complicated monetary relationship with British India throughout the 1890s, and locally struck copper fractions like this piece addressed small-denomination shortages that Indian coinage didn't reliably fill in interior circulation. The dual Cordry references — SC#10 and SC#17 — reflect documented die or date variants within the type, a distinction worth verifying against the specific piece in hand before cataloging further.
