Informazioni aggiuntive	The Sultanate of Muscat and Oman struck copper fractional currency in the late nineteenth century largely to address the practical demands of Indian Ocean trade, where small-denomination coinage was perpetually short. Faisal bin Turki, who ruled from 1888 until his death in 1913, issued coinage under British political supervision — the Sultanate was a British protectorate in all but formal name, and monetary decisions were rarely made in isolation from Muscat's relationship with the Government of India. The beaded central circle variety of KM#14 is a recognized die distinction from the plain circle type, worth separating in any serious collection of Gulf states coinage.
