| Additional information |
This piece is a mule — a coin struck from dies that were not intended to be paired together. The Sultanate's coinage of this period was produced under contract, and die mismatches occasionally occurred when obverse and reverse dies from different date pairings were inadvertently combined at the press. The "dually dated" designation refers to a discrepancy between the two calendar systems appearing on the coin, reflecting the concurrent use of Hijri and regnal dating rather than a deliberate commemorative choice.
Faisal bin Turki reigned from 1888 to 1913, a period of considerable British influence over Omani affairs.
