| Obverse description | The countermark applied by the Qu'aiti Sultanate occupies the central field, consisting of a multi-line Arabic inscription within a plain incuse punch. The legend reads the name and titles of the Qu'aiti ruler (Munassar), struck over the host coin's original design. Surrounding the central field is a decorative border of interlocking foliate and scroll motifs, characteristic of the Zanzibar host coinage. The overall surface shows the typical double-struck appearance of a countermarked coin, with remnants of the original Zanzibar design visible beneath the applied punch. |
